Revised 12/4/19

Conclusion: Summarize important points.

Field Observation Requirements:

All students are required to submit proof of nursing licensure, malpractice insurance, health clearance and results of certified

background check (from Kean designated Certified Background Check). If the clinical setting requires additional information eg. Drug

testing, the student must have that done through Certified Background Check. The student is responsible for submitting a copy of all

required documentation, to be retained by the clinical instructor. The students are responsible for retaining their own copy and having

it available throughout the semester. NO STUDENT WILL BE ALLOWED IN THE CLINICAL SETTING if they fail to do so.

Please refer to the Student Handbook for the latest requirements. If a student is absent, for failure to submit documentation, they will

need to make up the requirements and will have two points deducted from the final grade for each absence. It is the student’s

responsibility to make sure the medical form is filled in completely. If a student has a positive PPD, there needs to be documentation

from the care provider stating that the student can be in the clinical experience interacting with clients.

Field Observation Attendance Policy:


As in all clinical courses in the nursing department, attendance in clinical is required. A written reason for the absence must be

written (email is fine) to the clinical instructor, with a ‘cc’ to the lecture instructor/course leader. If there is more than one absence,

unless there are extenuating circumstances, each additional absence will result in a reduction of points from the final grade. Students

Revised 12/4/19
18

must be present for all group presentations on the assigned date. If you are aware that you will be absent ahead of time, please let your

instructors know.

Class Attendance:

Attendance is expected in all courses. Attendance will be a component of the grade of any course if so stated in the syllabus.

Students are responsible for informing the instructor in advance or in a timely manner of the reasons for their absence. Instructors in

consultation with their department chairs are expected to respect university practices and policies regarding what counts as an excused

absence. Typically excused absences include illness, bereavement, or religious observances. Serious tardiness may be dealt with at

the discretion of the instructor.

Students are expected to come to class and demonstrate knowledge of content by participation in class discussion. Students

who are absent cannot fully participate. Students must be present for all group presentations on the assigned dates. If a special

circumstance arises, please let the instructor know as soon as possible by email or telephone. Students who are late for class, will

have points deducted from their final grade. They are also responsible for the content missed.

Email:

All students are required to maintain an active email account. All course communications will be sent to the Kean email.

Office Hours:

Revised 12/4/19
