Mission and Purpose Statement of Charles Drew University:

To conduct education, research and clinical services in the context of community engagement to train health professionals who promote wellness, provide care with excellence and compassion, and transform the health of underserved communities.

School of Nursing Mission Statement:

The mission of the Charles Drew University Master of Science in Nursing program is to advance the science and art of nursing by conducting nursing research and providing nursing students with education that emphasizes the health status of underserved communities for the purpose of enabling graduates to provide evidence-based nursing care with dignity, respect and compassion to all nursing clients.School of Nursing Conceptual Framework:The Smith and Bazini-Barakat (2003) public health nursing practice model provides the theoretical framework for the curriculum. The model captures three phases of health and illness that nurses are involved in including: 1) primary, 2) secondary, and 3) tertiary prevention. Primary prevention promotes health and prevents illness before it develops. Secondary prevention detects and treats a problem after it has begun but in the early stages preferably before the sign and symptoms appear. Tertiary prevention and care keeps existing problems from getting worse.School of Nursing Accreditation Statements

Graduates of the Master of Science program with the Family Nurse Practitioner specialty are eligible to take a certification exam from either the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to earn the FNP- BC credential; or, take a certification exam through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) to earn the NP-C credentialCharles R.

Lecture, discussion, videos, demonstration and return demonstration, clinical practice, pre or post conferences, seminar, student verbal presentations, math competency, serve in selected clinical agencies and community agencies/activities (health fair, flu shots), medication assignments, individual conferences and completion and comprehension of assigned topics are examples of teaching strategies utilized in this course.

Student Learning Responsibilities:

Learning of any new skill requires the student to acquire basic knowledge of the subject matter, to modify attitudes that may impede learning and acquire attitudes that will facilitate learning. The student needs also to practice use of the new knowledge in appropriate settings in order to link the new knowledge and skill to memory and make the material available for future use. A variety of learning activities will be undertaken as part of this class, and students are encouraged to experiment with new ways of learning as well as to use the ones with which they are most familiar and comfortable. The student is expected to be a self-motivated and active adult learner who takes initiative to meet the objectives of the course and her/his personal learning objectives for the course.

Learning activities in which students will be engaged in this course include:

1. Completing required readings for every class

2. Doing reflective analysis and journaling reactions, ideas and questions that emerge from reading, preparation of assignments or seminars.

3. Actively listening in class lectures/discussions and responding to questions posed by faculty or peers.

4. Actively participating in class discussions and seminar presentations of peers.

5. Preparing for and presenting individual and group student work in class.

6. Preparing and leading seminars with another student.

Role of the Faculty:

The role of faculty in this graduate course will be primarily as an experienced consultant who is available to guide and assist students in meeting the course requirements. Faculty will introduce the course, prescribe required reading and learning activities that will facilitate students in their learning of course material, and provide guidance, support and organization so that students may progress in meeting their own learning objectives and those of the course.

I. NUR 518: Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing (Critical Care)

J. NUR 518: Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing (RN Exit Exams)

III. The faculty of MMDSON will coordinate scheduling of computer-administered proctored assessments and it is imperative that all students must be present on exam day(s). As a general rule, specialty examinations will be administered near the end of the semester.

IV. The desired level of achievement on a HESI Specialty Exam or RN Exit Exam is a Score of 850.

A. Throughout the course of the semester, faculty will assign quizzes and case studies for students to complete, in preparation for the Specialty Exams. Course faculty will determine the date the quizzes are to be completed. Immediately upon completion of the quizzes, students should review the rationale for each question and determine areas that they need to review in preparation for the Specialty Exam.

B. Students must complete the online proctored Specialty Exam Version 1 at the scheduled time. Students who achieve a HESI Score of 850 or greater meet the HESI course requirements and earn 25% of their course grade. If the score on the proctored Specialty Exam is below 850, the student is required to remediate and must retake the test (Version 2). Following test administration, students receive a score and an online remediation plan for each question missed.

Course Grade Possible in Courses with HESI Specialty or Exit ExamHESI Specialty/Exit Exam Scores

Scores below 850 require remediation prior to re-testing for Version 2

Version 1 25%850-Above, Final grade will be based on Version 1

Version 2 20%850-Above

Version 2 15%800-849

Version 2 10%750-799

Version 2 0%Below 749

At Faculty discretion, the HESI specialty exams could be used as the final exam for the course. The following remediation policy is required in each specialty course.

A. Students must devote the following documented hours to study the assigned remediation content.

B. Each student must sign in at the LRC with the Peer Tutors and work on their remediation content completing the following mandatory hours of remediation based on their HESI score:

HESI Score: Hours of remediation

800-849: 2 hours700-799: 3 hours600-699: 4 hours500-599: 5 hours400-499: 6 hours300-399: 8 hours

C. The student must write out at least three (3) key issues that are top priority of study for each of the recommended remediation section(s).

D. The student must write out at least five (5) key information for each of the three identified top priority areas.

E. Individual remediation study packets and Signed Evidence of remediation hours spent at the LRC with the Tutors must be printed out and handed to the instructor for admission into the Specialty Exam Version 2.

F. Failure to hand in your remediation study packet will result in zero points for the HESI Exam.

Students must provide evidence of remediation to course faculty before receiving approval to take Version 2 of the proctored Specialty or Exit Exam. Students who achieve a HESI score of 850 or greater on Version 2 of the exam will earn 20% of their course grade. Students who do not achieve a HESI Score of 850 or greater after Version 2 will only earn partial grades based on their HESI performance: 15% for 800-849, 10% for 750-799, and 0% for any score lower than 750.

Specialty Exams must be completed by the due date identified in the appropriate course syllabus/schedule. Failure to complete the proctored Specialty Exams will result in forfeiture of the 25% HESI portion of the course grade.

1. C. Faculty in (NUR 518 Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing) will assign completion dates for the Critical Care Exam and RN Exit Exam. Students must take Version 1 and 2 of the RN Exit Exam. A mandatory HESI Exit Exam at the end of Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing. All students must meet the Benchmark of 850 to signify the successful completion of the pre-licensure portion of the ELM program and qualify the students to complete the NCLEX application. The HESI Exit Exam will constitute 25% of the total course grade. Failure to meet the benchmark means that the student must repeat the exam to a maximum of two total attempts. Student must complete and document evidence of required remediation to retake the exam. Failure to achieve required benchmark on the second exam may constitute failure of the Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing Course and Student must retake the course to complete the Pre-licensure portion of the Entry Level Masters (ELM) Track.

V. Completion of the designated HESI examination(s) is a mandatory course requirement. Poor performance on the proctored assessment may adversely affect a students grade.

VI. Any student, who scores below 850 on Version 2 on the HESI Specialty or Exit Exam, must make an individual appointment with their Course Lead faculty and his/her advisor to discuss results and develop an individualized plan of study and review, based upon performance.

VII. A mandatory three month NCLEX Preparatory Program is scheduled during the last pre-licensure semester of the ELM program. All students must participate fully with all scheduled examinations and audio-video assignments, Question banks, Question Trainers, Sample Tests, etc. Students must show progressive improvement on NCLEX Prep exams offered during the NCLEX Prep Program.
