given three unexcused absences. For each unexcused absence after three your final
grade will be reduced by 2 percentage points. Withdrawal requests due to a low grade
MUST BE initiated by the student. The last day for a student to drop a course with a

In most cases, incompletes will not be given. Unless you have an extended illness that
requires hospitalization or something of a similar nature during the last three (3) weeks
of class, please do not expect that I will issue an incomplete. Failure to complete
assignments prior to the due date will result in a zero on that assignment.
The midterm and the final exam are closed book and closed notes. They must be
proctored at a testing center.
If you reside outside the PJC service area, you may take proctored exams at the testing
center of a different college. Some colleges charge a fee for this service. The student
will be responsible for any fees incurred. If you are taking your exam at a non-PJC
facility, the proctor will need to contact me for instructions, WebCT passwords, etc.
.
More information about the Testing Center on the PJC Paris Campus can be found at
http://www.parisjc.edu/index.php/main/content/about-testing-center/. If you would like to
take your exams on a different PJC campus or at a different testing center, please
contact that location for further instructions. If it is not a PJC testing center, they will
need to contact me for proctoring instructions.
Login frequently:
Please log into WebCT frequently. If I need to contact you, it could be through this
system. Some students have a very bad habit of logging into WebCT on the first class
day and printing everything that they can and then logging back in very infrequently.
This is a very bad practice. You need to log in at least twice per week. There may be
changes and updates that you need to be aware of throughout the semester.
Academic Honesty:
In pursuit of learning, it is expected that students will engage in honest academic
endeavor to the highest degree of honor and integrity. Students who are found to
engage in academic dishonesty through such activities as cheating on exams,
plagiarism, or collusion with others will be referred to the Vice President of Student
Services for disciplinary action such as dismissal from the college. Student violations
involving a question of academic honesty are handled by the faculty member(s)
involved. Should the student object to the decision of the faculty member(s), the
appeals procedures for instructional due process may be utilized. The following list
describes the most common forms of academic dishonesty (cheating):
1. Taking an exam for another student.
2. Having another student take an exam for you.
3. Altering or forging an official college document.
4. Paying someone to write a paper to submit as your own work.
5. Arranging with other students to give or receive answers by us of signals.
6. Arranging to sit next to someone who will let you copy on an exam.

for the exams:
(1)
a. Exam 1= 90
b. Exam 2= 80
c. Exam 3= 95
d. Exam 4= 100
365/4 = 91.25 average X 25% = 22.81 points out of a possible
25 points.
Grading Scale:
90% - 100% = A
80% - 89% = B
70% - 79% = C
60% - 69% = D
0% - 59% = F
Course Policies
Class Procedures: Students must login to the class during the first week of the semester
and email the instructor through WebCT. Additionally, students should communicate
with the instructor at least once a week throughout the semester. Submission of
assigned work will count as communication.
Class Attendance: Participation on the class website will constitute “attendance”. If the
student has not logged in and emailed the instructor by the 12th class day, the student
will be dropped for non-attendance. Withdrawal requests due to a low grade MUST BE
initiated by the student. Requests for withdrawal become official and effective the date
they are received in the records office. Students who stop attending class (that is, stop
participating on the class website) but fail to drop the course will earn an “F” for the
course.
Late Work: To be considered “on time”, all work must be submitted online as stipulated
on the Course Schedule. Quizzes may not be taken late. Late homework will not be
accepted.
Exams: Students must take exams over chapters according to the class schedule. No
make-up exams will be given. Students who miss one exam will use their grade on the
mid-term or final exam (depending on when the exam was missed) to replace the
missed grade. Any additional missed exams will result in a score of zero unless
extenuating circumstances exist.

proper documentation. The instructor is the final authority as to whether an absence
may be excused, so the student must contact the instructor as soon as possible if
he/she is unable to attend. If any work must be made up, the student must make
arrangements to do so.

Course Policies
Please attend class and complete your work on time.
When answering exam questions, emailing, and conducting any other written
communication in this course, please use proper grammar and spelling. I understand
that this is not an English course, but you are still expected to exhibit acceptable written
communication skills. Regardless of the professional field that you choose to enter, oral
and written communication skills will be very important.
Please understand I am not available 24/7. Please expect that it may take one working
day for me to respond to emails.
I very seldom give incompletes. Unless you have an extended illness that requires
hospitalization or something of a similar nature, please do not expect that I will issue an
incomplete. In most cases, failure to complete assignments prior to the due date will
result in a zero on that assignment and failure to complete the coursework prior to the
end of the semester will result in an F in the course.
Students are expected to be civil and respectful toward both the instructor and other
students. Rudeness and disruptions will result in the student being removed from the
classroom for the remainder of that class period. Further disruptions will result in the
instructor dropping the student from the course.
Remove mp3 headphones before class. The purpose of attending class is to listen to
the course material, not music.
Do not speak while the instructor or other students are speaking. Please wait your turn
to speak.
Students should always remain civil and courteous even when they disagree with
someone during class discussions.
A student should notify the instructor prior to class if they need to leave early. When
leaving early, students should do everything possible to minimize the disruption of the
learning environment.

Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.
Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.
Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.
Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care are
personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.
STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
Attendance/Tardy Policy
Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be
notified immediately.
Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-shaven
with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in

Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.
Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of the
facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will require
a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape and on a
Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the student and
the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.
Attendance/Tardy Policy
Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.
In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor should be

An overall grade average of at least 80% must be maintained in the class at all times.
Any test grade below 70% is considered a failing grade. The student will then get one
retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a
retest then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed
to complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion
of the program for college credit if you wish.
Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:
1. Overall grade average falling below 80%
2. Repeated failure of skills
3. Failure of any retest

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.
Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.
Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.
Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients entrusted to our care
are personal attributes that are absolutely essential for those entering the EMS
profession. Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are
considered indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be
given the opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and
in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has
not been reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the
program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of
the Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a
representative group of the EMS and a neutral party. After presentation of
the facts to the faculty-as-a-whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot
and tallied by the Director of the program and the neutral party. Failure will
require a two-thirds majority vote. The conference will be recorded on tape
and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of which goes to the
student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of
the Director, the student may request an appointment with the Dean of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.
Attendance/Tardy Policy
Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in
order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course.
Absences must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours
Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure
to achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of
the course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or
uniforms appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.
In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in
the capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and
should conduct themselves accordingly. If problems arise in the agencies, the instructor
should be notified immediately.
Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation
is to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after
the student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to
have clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the
course.
Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or
revealing garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment.
EMTs and Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You
will be performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance
of the student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance.
Listed below are partial guidelines to be followed:
1. Cleanliness and neat personal appearance are essential to the EMT.
2. Hair should be neat, clean, and worn in a conservative style that doesn't hang in the
face. Conservative combs and barrettes are acceptable. Men should be clean-
shaven with a neatly clipped established mustache and/or beard will be allowed.
3. Fingernails should be clean and short.
4. A watch with a second hand should be worn. Novelty watches are not appropriate.
5. Use of perfumes, colognes, or scented lotions should be avoided.
6. Purses and other valuable items should not be brought into the hospital or clinical
setting.
7. Students may smoke in designated smoking areas. There should be no smoking in
patient care areas or in the EMT classroom. If a student smokes, he/she should not
have an odor offensive to patients or classmates.
8. Jewelry in moderation; Absolutely no piercing jewelry in any part of the exposed
body including the ears. (Example Nose rings, eye rings or tongue rings)
9. No alcohol consumption or controlled/non-controlled substance abuse tolerated.
10. A name badge will be issued to each student to wear during clinical rotations. If you
lose this name badge, it must be replaced before doing any more clinical. A student
without a name badge will be sent home from clinical. The cost of replacing the
HEALTH POLICIES
Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would
endanger patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.
Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability
insurance to cover them as EMS students. This insurance is mandatory.
Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a

Education.
STEP 2. The team leader and instructor will meet with the student to inform him/her that
they are initiating the procedure. If the team leader is the instructor, another
faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Report of
Grievance with the team leader or Director of Health Occupation.
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in

Attendance/Tardy Policy
Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.
In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.
Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
HEALTH POLICIES
Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would endanger
patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.
Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

retest on which a grade of 70% or higher must be achieved. If the student fails a retest
then the student will not be released for the state exam and will not be allowed to
complete the clinical internship. You will be allowed to stay in the classroom portion of
the program for college credit if you wish.
Classroom reasons for not being released for the National Registry exam are listed
below:

Course Policies
Unsatisfactory Progress In A Course
Students who have unsatisfactory classroom performance will be given written
notification and a plan for remediation will be completed.
Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded
Probationary Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of
probation will be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the
course instructors and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the
student's status is reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded. If the
probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted. Failure to meet
probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to and including failure
from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.
Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from an EMS course by using the procedure outlined in the
Paris Junior College catalog following counsel with his/her instructors and/or the
Director of the EMS Program. After withdrawing from an EMS course, a student must
reapply for admission to the EMS Program in order to enroll in any subsequent EMS
course.
The student must initiate the withdrawal procedure with the team leader prior to the
withdrawal date or a grade of "F" will be recorded for the total semester hours of the
dropped EMS course.
Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe practices, lack of personal integrity, breach of
patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal or immoral act. Dismissal from the program
will be decided by the faculty, Director of Health Occupations and the Dean of Workforce
Education.
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the EMS
Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level possible (i.e., the
instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible, the following
procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course progress
disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest level and in
that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance procedure
must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the student
must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or Director of Health
Occupations if the team leader is not available..
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
Attendance/Tardy Policy
Attendance is of significant importance in the Emergency Medical Technician program in
order to meet the objectives necessary for successful completion of the course. Absences
must be for emergencies only and must not exceed the maximum hours designated at the
beginning of the semester. The instructor or clinical agency must be notified prior to the
absence, or as soon as possible in accident situations. Any assignments missed because
of an absence or tardy is due on the assignments due date regardless of the absence. It is
the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements to receive the
assignments and complete them on the due date. Students who fail to take responsibility
for their assignments will receive a 0. This policy applies to major exams, quizzes and
home work. Any exceptions to this will be handled on a case by case basis. Absences and
tardiness without notification demonstrate lack of responsibility and may result in dismissal
or other disciplinary action.
Students are expected to demonstrate achievement of all critical clinical objectives in the
hospital clinical area and field internship under direct supervision of a preceptor. Failure to
achieve all objectives will be handled on an individual basis but may result in failure of the
course. Specific written objectives will be required for each experience. Attire or uniforms
appropriate for the various agencies will be specified.
In all agency experiences, students should keep in mind that they are there for specific
learning experiences and are guests of the various agencies. Any behavior other than
complete professionalism may result in dismissal from the program. They are acting in the
capacity of students from the PJC Emergency Medical Technician Program and should
Documentation Of Records
It is the responsibility of the student to bring the appropriate forms to the clinical site.
Before the student leaves the clinical site for that particular rotation, all documentation is
to be completed. The preceptor will not verify and sign off any documentation after the
student has left the clinical site for that rotation. Absolutely no clinical forms will be
signed for any rotation except the rotation just completed. Students attempting to have
clinical sheets signed at any other time will be reported to the EMS Coordinator.
Attempting to falsify a clinical rotation will result in immediate dismissal from the course.
Dress Code
Dress in the classroom and skills lab should be comfortable; however, shorts or revealing
garments should not be worn. This is a distraction in the learning environment. EMTs and
Paramedics do not wear short shorts and low cut shirts while on duty. You will be
performing the same skills in the classroom as you do in the streets. Appearance of the
student in the clinical and field internship setting is of the utmost importance. Listed below
HEALTH POLICIES
Since good health is essential for the EMT, the following policies have been adopted:
1. A release from the student's physician will be required after hospitalization, any
surgical procedure or any conditions that will affect clinical practice.
2. A student is expected to report any condition that will affect his clinical practice. A
student will demonstrate good judgment by not reporting to the clinical setting while
experiencing overt signs and symptoms of an infectious process that would
endanger patient's well being.
3. Students who, in the opinion of the EMT coordinator and/or instructor, are showing
symptoms of physical or emotional illness may be required to have an appropriate
examination from a physician with a report submitted to the Coordinator.
4. Students diagnosed with a communicable disease must notify the coordinator.
Liability Insurance
In addition to regular tuition and fees, students will be assessed a fee for liability insurance
Overall Grade
Quizzes may be given at any time at the discretion of the faculty. The EMT course is
composed of three distinct sections: lecture, skills lab, and clinical rotations. The final
grade in this course will be a composite of these elements. None of these components is
expendable, therefore, all must be completed satisfactorily prior to challenging the state
certification exam. Each element has its own set of unique performance standards. A
composite score of less than 80% or a failure of any subdivision is considered to be a
failure of the course.

Homework will be assigned after each class meeting. That homework may be discussed during the following class
meeting or taken up for a grade. Quizzes over assigned reading and homework problems may also be given during
class.
A Comprehensive Case Problem will be assigned for completion during the final three weeks of the semester.
This case will serve as the final exam for the course. Failure to submit the final exam (case problem) will result in a

For example, if the following grades are made throughout the semester:
(1) Exam 1—90
Exam 2—88
Exam 3—87
Exam 4—95
360 / 4 = 90 avg X 80% = 72 pts out of a possible 80 pts from exams
Final Exam—90 X 20% = 18 points out of a possible 20 points
72 points from exams + 18 points from the final exam = 90, which is an A based on the following 10‐point Grading
Scale: 89.5%‐100% = A
79.5%‐89.4% = B
69.5%‐79.4% = C
59.5%‐69.4% = D

Chapter 11 Interview Like a Pro (CA 11‐1 & 11‐2—Practice Interviewing, 11‐5, 11‐6)
You can choose who you want to interview with or you might be interviewed by your
practicum employer before you start your on‐the‐job practicum assignment.
These two assignments will help you prepare for interviews. In 11‐2, it refers to CA
10‐5 which does not exist. The book is referring to the Interview Critique Form in CA
11‐4 in Chapter 11 on pages 258 and 259. If you are interviewed by the practicum
employer, you might ask the employer to complete the Interview Critique Form for
you. Employers are busy people and they might not have time to do this. However,
some will be glad to do it for you.
Your instructor will also be available to interview you asking the questions in Career
Action 10‐3 in Chapter 10 on pages 237‐240, and then will critique you using the
Interview Critique Form in Chapter 11.

At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.
"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.
Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.
STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment within five (5) working days with the Vice President of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.
Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:
1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.
When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.
Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.
The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.
If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.
Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.
A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.
Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.
The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of
these learning opportunities.
The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.

instructor.
When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.
If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.
Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.
The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.

semester. Three (3) incidences of lost or forgotten OSLs will result in dismissal from the
program. If the badge is lost or stolen a written explanation must be furnished to the
Program Coordinator. This written explanation will be maintained in the students file.
If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.
ALARA – the student will practice ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
Guidelines for this policy come from 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine Produced Radiation.
A report will be made by the program coordinator and will include as a minimum:
1. the extent of exposure
2. the cause of the elevated exposure
3. corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including
the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, and associated
conditions.
This report will include the individual’s name, social security number, and date of birth.
At completion, this report will be placed in the student's permanent record.
Students receive their badges in the second semester of the program prior to attending
clinical rotation.
Student dosimetry reports are kept in the program coordinator’s office and a copy of the
student’s individual report will be placed into the student’s permanent file.

Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.
The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL
assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.
If the student does not inform the program of her pregnancy in writing, the student will
be considered to not be pregnant regardless of overt signs, the above measures cannot
be taken. These measures are all for the benefit of the student and the baby. Without
the cooperation, the approved, usual and standard safety precautions cannot be
implemented.
In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times
in which proper supervision is available. Students will not receive credit for time
spent at clinicals that were not scheduled. All rules of conduct and attendance will
apply while the student is accumulating bank hours. Bank and make-up times are all
subject to the same rules as regular clinical time. Students who fail to bank adequate
hours to cover post partum absences (including in the event of c-section birth) will not
be allowed to return to clinicals, and will be allowed to re-enter in the same semester in
the following year if space is available.

Occupations classrooms and training labs, hospitals, long term facilities, laboratories,
clinical areas, and medical/dental offices. Individuals with latex sensitivity or allergies
should seek expert advice from their health care provider so that they may receive
information to make an informed decision regarding their exposure to latex in the health
care field.
Radiology Technology courses must follow the sequence as given in the college
catalog.
Each student will have a Radiology Technology degree plan prepared in consultation
with his/her academic advisor or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of
Radiology Technology Program. It is the responsibility of each student to see that
he/she progresses through his/her degree plan as outlined, or arrange appropriate
deviation from this plan with the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of Radiology
Technology Program.
In order to continue and progress in the Radiology Technology Program the student's
work must remain satisfactory in the following areas:
1. Maintain a 2.0 average in total course work.
2. Completion of required academic courses.
3. Maintain 2.0 or better grades in each of the Radiology Technology Program
courses.
4. Evidence of satisfactory clinical performance at the end of each semester based
on the criteria for the semester.
Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral/clinical objectives and
recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".
A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will be
discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructor and
the student.
At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.
Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.
"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.
Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.
STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.
Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:
1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.
5 A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
6. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the committee may then review other absences or tardies to determine if a
contingency plan should be formulated by the student to help prevent further
time lost.
7. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the student
to continue, this will result in failure of the course.
When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.
The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.
If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.
Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.
A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.
Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.
The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of
these learning opportunities.
The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.
There are a variety of learning experiences available for varied course work.
Time frames for completion of skills will be established by the instructor. At the
completion of each evaluation period the competency log form will be updated.
Guidelines for Campus Laboratory Use

top. Shoes will be predominately white.
Documentation of the clinical experience is recorded in the Student Journal.
Instructors may be contacted through the Health Occupations Department Office (903-
782-0734).
When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.
If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.
Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.
The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.
Clinical Forms
The student will record procedures observed in their clinical area in Student Journals
and have it initialed by the clinical instructor. The instructor who observes the students'
performance will evaluate their performance utilizing the Clinical Instructor Evaluation of

recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".
A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will be
discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructor and
the student.
At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.
Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.
"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.
Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.
STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
him/her that they are initiating the procedure. If the program coordinator is the
instructor, another faculty member will be present.
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.
Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the school catalog, with the following modifications because of
the nature of Radiology Technology:
1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
for the student, program coordinator, and minutes notebook.
3. An extenuating circumstance may be recorded in writing without a face-to-face
meeting with the student and members of the committee if all members agree
on the circumstances presented by the faculty responsible for the meeting.
4. A physician's physical condition statement may be required to return to clinical.
5 A 2/3 majority vote of the committee will be required for the student request of
extenuating circumstances to be granted.
6. When the decision is made by the committee to allow the student to continue,
the committee may then review other absences or tardies to determine if a
contingency plan should be formulated by the student to help prevent further
time lost.
7. If the Extenuating Circumstance Committee does not agree to allow the student
to continue, this will result in failure of the course.
When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.
Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.
The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.
Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.
A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.
The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.

probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.
If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.
Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.
The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.

Program Policy
25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231
The 25 TAC 289.231 administered by the Texas Department of Health requires that:
1. A separate radiation monitoring device will be worn for each and every site/location
while engaging in duties of employment in which exposure to ionizing radiation is
possible.
2. The Paris Junior College OSL dosimetry badge must be worn only when conducting
oneself as a PJC student, AND a different badge (supplied by the employer) is to be
worn when working around ionizing radiation while not functioning in the capacity of
a PJC student.
3. Each student is required to inform the Program Division Chair or Clinical Coordinator
in writing when employment in a radiation area begins and ends.
4. The employer is supplied with each student’s radiation dosimetry reports. It is the
student’s responsibility to supply PJC with radiation dosimetry reports from their
place of employment.
5. Cumulative records will be maintained by both parties and supplied to the student at
the end of affiliation with either party. (Monthly film badge reports in student file.)
The dosimetry badge provided by Paris Junior College will not be worn during outside
clinical hours. Students employed in Radiology areas must be provided a dosimetry
badge by the employer. Dosimetry will be exchanged on a monthly basis.
Dosimetry reports will be maintained in the program coordinator’s office. A copy of the
dosimetry report will be placed in the student’s permanent file.
Tampering with other students OSL dosimetry badge will result in dismissal from the
program
Failure of the student to exchange the badge (regardless of it being lost or forgotten) will
result on a lowering of the Clinical Grade by one full letter grade at the end of the
semester. Three (3) incidences of lost or forgotten OSLs will result in dismissal from the
program. If the badge is lost or stolen a written explanation must be furnished to the
Program Coordinator. This written explanation will be maintained in the students file.
If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.
With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.
ALARA – the student will practice ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
Guidelines for this policy come from 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231, General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine Produced Radiation.
A report will be made by the program coordinator and will include as a minimum:
1. the extent of exposure
2. the cause of the elevated exposure
3. corrective steps taken or planned to ensure against a recurrence, including
the schedule for achieving conformance with applicable limits, and associated
conditions.
This report will include the individual’s name, social security number, and date of birth.
At completion, this report will be placed in the student's permanent record.
Students receive their badges in the second semester of the program prior to attending
clinical rotation.
Student dosimetry reports are kept in the program coordinator’s office and a copy of the
student’s individual report will be placed into the student’s permanent file.
With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.
Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.
The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL
assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.
In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times
in which proper supervision is available. Students will not receive credit for time
spent at clinicals that were not scheduled. All rules of conduct and attendance will
apply while the student is accumulating bank hours. Bank and make-up times are all
subject to the same rules as regular clinical time. Students who fail to bank adequate
hours to cover post partum absences (including in the event of c-section birth) will not
be allowed to return to clinicals, and will be allowed to re-enter in the same semester in
the following year if space is available.
A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the fetus, and the student will be required to wear
it at waist level under the lead apron. The cost of the fetal badge must be paid for by
the student once the pregnancy is declared. The student will attend classes on campus
two- (2) weeks post partum and begin Practicum six- (6) weeks post partum. A letter
from her physician allowing this will be required. The student may return earlier if her
physician consents. The student should not expect nor receive any other
considerations or special treatment from the program. The student’s radiation
exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of
500 mr is not exceeded. If the student exceeds the maximum permissible dose, she will
be withdrawn from the program. All attendance, absence, and make-up policies will be
equally enforced. All declared pregnant students must sign the Student Declared
Pregnancy Form. (

1. A separate radiation monitoring device will be worn for each and every site/location
while engaging in duties of employment in which exposure to ionizing radiation is
possible.
2. The Paris Junior College OSL dosimetry badge must be worn only when conducting
oneself as a PJC student, AND a different badge (supplied by the employer) is to be
worn when working around ionizing radiation while not functioning in the capacity of
a PJC student.
3. Each student is required to inform the Program Division Chair or Clinical Coordinator
in writing when employment in a radiation area begins and ends.
4. The employer is supplied with each student’s radiation dosimetry reports. It is the
student’s responsibility to supply PJC with radiation dosimetry reports from their
place of employment.
5. Cumulative records will be maintained by both parties and supplied to the student at
the end of affiliation with either party. (Monthly film badge reports in student file.)
The dosimetry badge provided by Paris Junior College will not be worn during outside
clinical hours. Students employed in Radiology areas must be provided a dosimetry
badge by the employer. Dosimetry will be exchanged on a monthly basis.
Dosimetry reports will be maintained in the program coordinator’s office. A copy of the
dosimetry report will be placed in the student’s permanent file.
Tampering with other students OSL dosimetry badge will result in dismissal from the
program
Failure of the student to exchange the badge (regardless of it being lost or forgotten) will
result on a lowering of the Clinical Grade by one full letter grade at the end of the
If the radiation report for a student is excessive, the student will be counseled to
determine the cause of the excessive exposure. The student will be placed in a low
radiation work area until the problem is resolved.
With Texas being an agreement state with the NRC, the radiation protection aspect of
the radiology program complies with 25 Texas Administrative Code 289.231 – General
Provisions and Standards for Protection Against Machine-Produced Radiation.

Pregnancy
Students have the option of informing the program Division Chair, in writing, of a
pregnancy. It is recommended that the student inform the Program Coordinator and/or
the Clinical Coordinator immediately upon learning of the pregnancy so that the student
may be counseled regarding her and her baby’s radiation protection. The student is
encouraged to read the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Guide 8.13 “Instructions
Concerning Prenatal Radiation Exposure”. A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the
fetus and student’s clinical experience may be modified from any rotation in
which a heavy fluoroscopy load exists until after the first trimester. Pregnant students
will receive no more than an 0.5 rem of radiation exposure during the entire gestation
period. The student MUST provide a written statement from her physician stating that
the student may participate in all radiologic procedures. If the physician will not release
the student, she will be REQUIRED to withdraw from the program.
The pregnant student will be required to function as a normal, healthy student in ALL
assigned radiographic areas, including lifting patients, and transportation. No “light duty
assignments” will be made. If her and/or her physician’s opinions differ from this policy,
the student will be required to withdraw from the program. All female students will sign
an agreement of understanding concerning pregnancy and radiation protection prior to
acceptance. The agreement simply explains this policy and the prospective student
understands the policy.
If the student does not inform the program of her pregnancy in writing, the student will
be considered to not be pregnant regardless of overt signs, the above measures cannot
be taken. These measures are all for the benefit of the student and the baby. Without
the cooperation, the approved, usual and standard safety precautions cannot be
implemented.
In order for the student to maintain a good standing in the program after the baby’s
birth, the pregnant student must begin “banking” clinical hours so that she may have a
maximum of 6 weeks of absences from the Practicum course. The student will supply
her class schedule (clinical and academic) and a written plan for accumulating bank
hours to the clinical coordinator. The student may schedule no more than forty
hours per week of TOTAL classroom, clinical and bank hours. This schedule will
need to be revised each semester according to the student’s schedule and must be
approved by the clinical coordinator. The “bank hours” must be scheduled only at times
A dosimetry badge will be ordered for the fetus, and the student will be required to wear
it at waist level under the lead apron. The cost of the fetal badge must be paid for by
the student once the pregnancy is declared. The student will attend classes on campus
two- (2) weeks post partum and begin Practicum six- (6) weeks post partum. A letter
from her physician allowing this will be required. The student may return earlier if her
physician consents. The student should not expect nor receive any other
considerations or special treatment from the program. The student’s radiation
exposure will be continuously monitored to insure that the maximum permissible dose of
500 mr is not exceeded. If the student exceeds the maximum permissible dose, she will
be withdrawn from the program. All attendance, absence, and make-up policies will be
equally enforced. All declared pregnant students must sign the Student Declared

Occupations classrooms and training labs, hospitals, long term facilities, laboratories,
clinical areas, and medical/dental offices. Individuals with latex sensitivity or allergies
should seek expert advice from their health care provider so that they may receive
information to make an informed decision regarding their exposure to latex in the health
care field.
Each student will have a Radiology Technology degree plan prepared in consultation
with his/her academic advisor or the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of
Radiology Technology Program. It is the responsibility of each student to see that
he/she progresses through his/her degree plan as outlined, or arrange appropriate
deviation from this plan with the Division Chair/or Program Coordinator of Radiology
Technology Program.
In order to continue and progress in the Radiology Technology Program the student's
work must remain satisfactory in the following areas:
1. Maintain a 2.0 average in total course work.
2. Completion of required academic courses.
3. Maintain 2.0 or better grades in each of the Radiology Technology Program
courses.
4. Evidence of satisfactory clinical performance at the end of each semester based
on the criteria for the semester.
Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral/clinical objectives and
recorded in the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress/Probation Form".
At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is reviewed by the
program faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled, "Report of
Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation is lifted.
Failure to meet probationary criteria may result in failure of the course at the faculty
team’s decision. Probation will be contained within each course.
Dismissal
Any student may be dismissed from the program without a probationary period if the
student shows gross negligence, unsafe care, lack of personal or professional integrity,
breach of patient confidentiality, or commits a criminal act.
"Unsafe care" is defined as any act of omission or commission which places the
client(s) in jeopardy of negative changes in health status.
Personal integrity as well as concern for the welfare of patients are personal attributes
that are absolutely essential for those entering the Radiology Technology profession.
Actions taken and attitudes expressed while in the student role are considered
indicative of behaviors to be expected of the graduate. The student will be given the
opportunity to discuss the incident(s) with the course team faculty.
STEP 2. The program coordinator and instructor will meet with the student to inform
STEP 3. If the student wishes to contest this decision, he/she must file a Request of
Grievance Conference with the Program Coordinator. (Appendix XVI).
Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Radiology Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the lowest
level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The grievance
procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by which time the
student must initiate a "Request of Grievance Conference" with the program coordinator
or Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the Health
Occupations within five (5) working days.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment with representative members of the faculty-as-a-whole within five
(5) working days. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the
Division Chair and a PJC non-Radiology Technology faculty/staff member.
Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The conference will
be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a copy of
which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair within five (5) working days, the student may request an
appointment within five (5) working days with the Vice President of Workforce
Education to present his/her case.
The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.
Attendance Policies
Radiology Technology students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
1. Students missing any time after two (2) absences per semester must, upon
return to school, make a request to the program coordinator or the Division
Chair of Health Occupations, to meet with the Extenuating Circumstances
Committee. The student must provide supporting evidence to validate the
necessity of the absence. The student may request no more than two (2)
extenuating absence meetings per semester. Any further absences will result in
failure of the program, or withdrawal if prior to the drop date.
A. Automobile maintenance problems, traffic violation occurrences, or other
preventable occurrences are generally not considered extenuating
circumstances.
2. The faculty calling the meeting will write the minutes of the meeting, with copies
When calling, the student should attempt to contact the person in charge, but if this
person is unavailable, speak to the next person in line of authority. The student should
then convey his/her message be relayed to the instructor when he/she arrives. The
student must obtain the name and position of the person contacted about the absence.
Failure to comply with the requirements may result in automatic probation. Abuse of
these rules may result in a termination from the program.
The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to contact the instructor of absence, and schedule the exam.
The exam must be taken by or upon the first class day upon his/her return to class. The
make-up exam may be an alternative exam.
If all students have taken the test on the scheduled date, the test review may be
performed immediately after the test; however, test grades will not be available until the
next class day. Grades will not be given over the telephone.
Daily grades/pop quizzes may be given at any time during the class periods, and may
consist of take-home assignments or study guides. The daily grade/pop quizzes will be
related to classroom content. No make-up daily grade/pop quiz will be given to a
student who is absent or tardy when a daily grade/pop quiz is given. A student who
misses a daily grade/pop quiz will receive a grade of zero (0) for that quiz.
A student may withdraw with a “W” in any Radiology course if prior to the drop date.
Within the Paris Junior College laboratory /media area (located in the Workforce
Training Center), the student will find a current selection of journals and a complete
selection of audio-visual materials (located in the Health Occupations Office) to
complement learning objectives. Students may also be required to use the Mike
Rheudasil Learning Center. Occasionally classroom instructors will refer students to
audio-visual materials and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). These will be used as
enrichment tools to be reviewed on the students' own time, and/or during assigned
laboratory times.
The Radiology Technology laboratories have an x-ray room. As this area is considered
a learning resource area, it is utilized in the same manner and environment as a library.
The expectations of keeping noise levels down and maintaining an environment
conducive to learning will be expected. It is required that the students take advantage of
these learning opportunities.
The Paris Junior College Learning Resource Center has been designed for student use.
Time frames for completion of skills will be established by the instructor. At the
completion of each evaluation period the competency log form will be updated.
Guidelines for Campus Laboratory Use
1. The laboratory is available for student use during specified hours.
2. Each student is responsible for replacing supplies and/or equipment in the proper
place after use.
3. Any items which are defective should be reported to the faculty. This is to assure that
as many items as possible may be kept available for student use.
4. Required skill evaluations must be completed within the time designated by the
instructors.
5. There will be no smoking or visitors in the laboratory.
6. Misuse of the laboratories, equipment and/or materials will be documented and
placed in the student's file.
CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
Clinical experience may be scheduled at any time during the 24-hour day on any of the
seven days of the week and may be scheduled in out-lying facilities to assure a
satisfactory clinical experience.
CPR certification, immunizations and any required medical screenings, must be current
prior to entering any semester clinical experiences.
Uniforms will consist of: 2nd year student-Caribbean blue top and pants; 1st year
student-Caribbean blue top and white pants. Solid white shirt may be worn under the
top. Shoes will be predominately white.
Documentation of the clinical experience is recorded in the Student Journal.
Instructors may be contacted through the Health Occupations Department Office (903-
782-0734).
Invasive Procedures
The student may only give contrast mediums under direct supervision. The student
may not perform any invasive procedures unless permission is given by the clinical
instructor.
When an unsafe behavior trend is identified, the student will be placed on clinical
probation.
The student will be given specific criteria, in writing, for removal of probation. Failure to
comply with the terms of probation will result in failure of the course.
If an unsafe behavior is severe enough to jeopardize patient safety, the student will be
placed on probation and/or could be immediately dismissed with a “F” from the program
by faculty team decision, whether or not an unsafe trend has been identified.
Identifiable trends in the following behaviors are some examples which may constitute
unsafe practice resulting in clinical probation.
The following examples, which may serve as guidelines for the student's understanding
of unsafe clinical practices. Examples are not inclusive.
Trends of unsafe performance will require documentation on the Student Conference Form
which is signed by the student during counseling with the instructor. Documentation becomes a
part of the student's permanent file.
Clinical Forms
The student will record procedures observed in their clinical area in Student Journals
and have it initialed by the clinical instructor. The instructor who observes the students'
performance will evaluate their performance utilizing the Clinical Instructor Evaluation of
Student Form.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Associate Degree Nursing Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest
level possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always
possible, the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and
course progress disputes. The steps have been defined to facilitate resolution at the
lowest level and in that interest; the order of steps will at no time be violated. The
grievance procedure must be initiated within two (2) working days of the incident by
which time the student must initiate a "Report of Grievance" with the team leader or
Division Chair of Health Occupations if the team leader is not available.
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the faculty
and the team leader of the course. If a satisfactory decision still has not been reached,
the student may request to meet with the Division Chair of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with representative members of
the faculty-as-a-whole. (The definition of faculty-as-a-whole: a representative group of
the LVN, ADN, and a neutral party.) After presentation of the facts to the faculty-as-a-
whole, the faculty vote will be taken by ballot and tallied by the Division Chair of the
program and the neutral party. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report form, a
copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the Confidential File.
STEP 3. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Division Chair, the student may request an appointment with the Vice President of
Workforce Education to present his/her case.
The procedures in this policy have been set up to assure confidentiality and a full
hearing of the student's position.

Grievance Procedure
Problems of an individual or of a personal nature should be handled in the following
ways: A student may formally express dissatisfaction with his/her progress in the
Surgical Technology Program. Grade disputes should be resolved at the lowest level
possible (i.e., the instructor and student). Recognizing that this is not always possible,
the following procedure has been adopted as policy for resolving grade and course
STEP 1. The student should request an appointment to discuss the case with the
faculty and the program coordinator. If a satisfactory decision still has not been
reached, the student may request to meet with the Director of the program.
STEP 2. If resolution of the grievance has not been reached under the guidance of the
Director, the student may request an appointment with representative
members of the faculty-as-a-whole. The faculty vote will be taken by ballot and
tallied by the Director and a PJC non-Surgical Technology faculty/staff
member. Failure will require a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty. The
conference will be recorded on tape and on a Grievance Conference Report
form, a copy of which goes to the student and the original placed in the
Confidential File.
STEP 3. If a resolution is still not reached, the student may request the Director to
obtain an appointment with the Vice President of Workforce Education.
At any time during the grievance procedure should the student desire an attorney
present, he/she must notify the Director of the program at least 24 hours before a
scheduled meeting.

Attendance Policy
Vocational Nursing students will follow the absence and tardy policies of Paris Junior
College as discussed in the current school catalog, with the following modifications
because of the nature of the nursing experience.
1. During inclement weather on clinical days, the student must make his/her own
decision regarding safety for travel to school. A student who decides not to attend
clinical/class because of inclement weather will receive an absence unless official
notification by the college has been made that classes are closed.
2. Any student arriving at the clinical area later than 30 minutes will be given an
absence. Students arriving 30 minutes or less at the clinical area will receive a tardy.
Students missing 60 minutes or less of classroom during a given day will receive a
tardy. Students missing more than 60 minutes will be given an absence. A tardy or
absence such as arriving late or leaving early may occur at any point during the day.
Students may miss up to 60 minutes of clinical and receive a tardy, with the
exception of the 30 minutes arrival rule (i.e. the student who arrives 15 minutes late
to clinical and leaves 45 minutes early from post-conference would miss 60 minutes
or less and receive a tardy).
3. Three (3) tardies = one (1) absence.
4. Permission to enter the clinical area will be left to the discretion of the clinical
Probationary Status:
Probationary criteria will be written in the form of behavioral objectives and recorded in
the document entitled "Report of Unsatisfactory Progress in a Course: Probationary
Status". A time frame for review of status will be specified. The terms of probation will
be discussed with the student and validated by the signatures of the course instructors
and the student. At the end of the specified term of probation, the student's status is
reviewed by the course faculty. This review will be recorded on the document entitled,
"Report of Status Review". If the probation criteria has been met, the student's probation
is lifted. Failure to meet probationary criteria will result in further disciplinary action up to
and including failure from the program. Probation will be contained within the course.
Theory Grades
A percentage grade will be given on the composite of written assignments, classroom
examinations, final examinations, and special projects.
The student is required to be present for all scheduled exams. If an exam is missed, the
student will be required to take the exam on the first class day upon his/her return to
class. The make-up exam may be different from the original exam. There will be a five
(5) point deduction if a student is absent for an exam.
After test review, if the student has a concern regarding a question, he/she may take the
textbook(s) (with test present) and verify the answer he/she feels is correct. The student
will be given ample time after test review to complete this activity. When the student has
completed the challenge, he/she will turn the challenge papers with test question
written, answer chosen with textbook reference cited and test into the instructor. At this
point the challenge process ends. The instructor will take the test challenges to the next
team meeting where they will be presented and determined if the student has been able
to validate answers. If it is determined that the answers are valid, the test scores will be
adjusted as applicable. The challenged questions will be reviewed on the next class
day.
Written Assignments:
All written assignments, classroom or clinical, must be completed and turned in even if
submitted after the due date. Failure to complete all written assignments will result in a
failing (F) grade for the course. This includes all required written assignments except
required written daily clinical paperwork. Required written daily clinical paperwork will be
addressed on the student anecdotal record/clinical evaluation tool.
The letter grade for the clinical portion of this course will be based on the evaluation tool
titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading. A student receiving three (3) CEs in the
same area on the evaluation tool titled Instructor Responses/Clinical Grading will
receive a “U” in that area, be placed on probation, and their clinical grade will be
decreased by one letter grade. The exception being medication errors: when the
second medication error is made the student will receive a “U”, be placed on probation,
All clinical work must be done in a safe and professional manner. A student who fails
clinical will receive an "F" for the course. An unsafe grade on the evaluation of safe
clinical practice tool will result in a failure in the course.
