Clinicals begin in Module 6.

The clinical component of this course allows the student to incorporate all of the individual skills they have learned e.g. CNA, phlebotomy, and EKG, into a daily routine. Tying it all together into one multi-skilled job requires the use of time-management, prioritization, and critical thinking skills. Students must successfully complete three 6-hour clinical days in an emergency room utilizing their CNA, EKG, and phlebotomy skills.
Students are evaluated on clinicals using clinical experience summary forms.

Preceptors in the clinical setting will document your performance and return the form back to you at the end of each clinical day. These clinical evaluation forms must be turned into the course instructor by posting in the Clinical Discussion, under your name, and attaching evaluations as they are completed.

A final evaluation will be provided by the course instructor at the end of the rotation. Students are expected to attend appointments for discussion in either a virtual meeting or traditional setting. The form will be signed and added to the student’s file.

Clinicals are graded by satisfactory “S” or unsatisfactory “U” performance. Students are graded based on the clinical expectations as well as the attendance policy documents provided in the assignment area.

Students receive one final grade in the course which includes both lecture and clinical sessions. Students must be satisfactory in clinical in order to qualify for their passing lecture grade. Students who are unsatisfactory in clinical lab receive a grade of no higher than a “74 D” and do not progress further in the PCT program.
