GUIDELINES IN DETERMINING STUDENT CLINICAL GRADE
The critical behavior for evaluating student performance is the student’s ability to make clinical
decisions for safe patient care. Such decision making reflects the ability of nursing students to apply
nursing principles in a variety of situations. Meeting these criteria constitutes competent performance
and a satisfactory passing grade.
The four overriding criteria for a satisfactory passing grade in the clinical area are:
1. Using the steps of the nursing process for scientific problem solving.
2. Maintaining medical and surgical asepsis.
3. Maintaining physical safety.
4. Maintaining psychological safety.
When a student jeopardizes patient care by violating one of these principles, it shall constitute a failure
for that clinical day. Refer to the School of Nursing Student Policy Manual and the School of Nursing
Student Handbook for clarification regarding guidelines for the clinical component of the course.
