3 = Safe each time, accurate most 4 = Safe and accurate each time; occasional verbal directives 5 = Safe and accurate each time; without support X = Unable to Assess Any score of 1 or 2 on the Evaluation Tool will be explained and addressed in the CET narrative. An unsatisfactory score on the Clinical Evaluation Tool represents student behavior that is unsafe. The student is required to schedule counseling conference with the clinical instructor to remediate the deficiency. A score of 3-5 represents behavior that is safe. All behaviors must be at a safe level for the student’s clinical performance to be evaluated as Satisfactory. Summative evaluation occurs during the final week of the clinical rotation. Students must pass in all areas of the Clinical Evaluation Tool. A student who receives an unsatisfactory score (less than 75%) in any area of the Summative Evaluation will minimally fail the course regardless of the student’s theory grade. The Clinical Evaluation Tool follows the nursing process, and students must achieve a passing score of 75% or above in each of the role competencies to successfully progress to the next level. ATI TESTING POLICY-PN PROGRAM As student’s progress through the College of Health Science/WATC PN Program, they will be required to take a series of standardized tests. The exams are administered for the purposes of assessing students’ mastery of core nursing content and to prepare students to be successful on the NCLEX-PN. Used as a comprehensive testing program, the proctored and non-proctored computerbased exams help learners identify areas that need more study. The ATI Testing Service allows students to focus their review and remediation efforts, thereby increasing their confidence and familiarity with the NCLEX- PN content. What does ATI offer? • Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) offers an assessment driven comprehensive review program designed to enhance student NCLEX® success. • The comprehensive ATI review program offers multiple assessment and remediation activities. These include assessment indicators for academic success, critical thinking, and learning styles. Additionally, online tutorials, online practice tests, and proctored tests are provided and span major content areas in nursing. These ATI tools, in combination with the nursing program content, assist students to prepare effectively, helping to increase their confidence and familiarity with nursing content. • ATI Orientation resources such as the ATI Plan can be accessed from “My ATI” tab. It is highly recommended that you spend time navigating through these orientation materials. Review Modules/eBooks: ATI provides Review Modules in eBook formats that include written and video materials in key content areas. Students are encouraged to use these modules to supplement course work and reading. Instructors may assign chapter reading either during a given course and/or as part of active learning/remediation following assessments. Tutorials: 15
