Course Student Learning Outcomes and Competencies
The following course student learning outcomes and competencies represent
the overall behaviors the student is to accomplish by the end of the course. They will
build throughout the program to culminate in the program student learning outcomes
and competencies. The individual weeky units taught in the classroom specify the
specific content to be taught. As that content is taught it should be connected to the
course student learning outcomes and competencies; this puts the weekly “lesson”
content into the bigger perspective of your curriculum strucuture. The same is true for
the clinical experience. Therefore, the clinical evaluation tool (CET) is developed based
on these course student learning outcomes and competencies. Included with the CET
are clinical activities for each competency that provide students an opportunity to
demonstrate their ability to achieve that particular competency. This provides validity to
the CET. Grading rubrics are used for each activity so all faculty are grading students
using the same criteria and all students are aware of the criteria used to grade them.
This provides reliability to the CET. Grading rubrics are included, but faculty should
review these and revise if they believe the expected level of behaviors should be higher
or lower than indicated.
Students keep all the activities for the course in a 3‐ring binder known as a
clinical activity portfolio. Each of the 6 course outcomes can be divided into sections
with a page divider then all the activities for the competencies for each of the outcomes
are contained in the section for each that outcome. Some of the activities may be
completed as students provide traditional patient care. However, some of them may be
carried out as the only assignment for the day. Often two students work together on an
activity then discuss their findings in postconference.
It is most helpful to complete these clinical activities during clinical time with
feedback from the faculty during clinical time. This promotes active learning in the
context of the environment and the patient. Students can be asked to correct any errors

while still in the environment where the information resides and with the faculty
available for feedback and discussion.
Please feel free to add, delete, or revise any of the clinical portfolio activities.
Nursing 34: Advanced Medical/Surgical Nursing and Pediatric Nursing

Course Student Learning Outcome #1 Competency: g. Apply quality measures when evaluating effects of medical‐surgical and pediatric nursing interventions appropriate to the care environment. Tool: Evidence‐based care with the RN Activity: 1. Work with your staff RN leader. 2. The student will observe the RN performing one nursing intervention (e.g. changing a dressing, educating a patient on a specific
topic, assessing one or more vital signs). Students are encouraged to NOT make medication administration a focus of this activity. 3. As soon as possible after the observation, ask the RN the questions listed in the box below. Be sure to be non‐judgmental and
thank the RN for assisting you with this activity. You might also offer to share the conclusions from the class discussion on this topic after it occurs.
4. Locate and review the policies, procedures or standards available in that clinical setting related to the intervention you observed and answer the second set of questions listed below.
Are there policies/protocols/procedures that define practice standards for this intervention?
Are there references to research or evidence used to determine the standards?
Did the RN you observed perform the intervention according to those standards?
5. Using the information search strategies you have learned previously, locate the best published evidence regarding
recommendations related to the intervention you observed and complete the third set of questions below.
How difficult was it for you to locate quality, relevant, timely evidence?
How do the policies/protocols/procedures compare with the best evidence you located?
How does the observed RN’s performance compare with the best evidence you located?
6. Reflect on your activity by answering:
What did you learn?
How will you use the lessons learned?
What more do you need to learn about evidence‐based nursing practice?
How does this evidence‐based practice experience relate to quality improvement?
What quality improvement processes are used on the pediatric unit? How do they relate to patient safety?

Course Outcome #2 Competency: a. Use effective communication techniques that produce positive professional working relations in the medical‐surgical and pediatric environments when caring for pediatric patients and patients with complex medical/surgical conditions. Tool: Communication as Perceived by the Patient This tool reflects information from HCAHPS, which stands for Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems which is a government survey for measuring patient satisfaction at hospitals across the country. The HCAHPS survey provides information from the patient’s perspective regarding hospital care, including communication among the healthcare team. This tool builds on the work of HCAHPS and focuses on communication:
Interview direct‐care RN or Unit Manager regarding continuous efforts to improve patient satisfaction. o How can nurses improve communication with the patient and with other healthcare providers.
o What are the barriers to communication and how can they be managed?
o How can patients be reassured of staff responsiveness?
o How can student nurses assist with patient satisfaction related to communication?
o What role does the "Patient Board" play in clear communication that results in positive professional working relations?
o What lessons can you derive from the above answers that you can use to improve your practice as a nurse?
