MN560 Advanced Practice Nurse Clinical
 Unit 10 Assignment  
Final Clinical Evaluation — 300 points
This unit will contain the mandatory preceptor final evaluation in Rx Preceptor. Your preceptors will receive an automatic email from the Rx Preceptor system during week 8 and then weekly until week 9 to complete evaluations. Grading will follow the scale below and will be a collaboration between your faculty and preceptor. Any area of assessment with a score of 2.4 or below will receive an entire evaluation score of 0 points as failure in any area of assessment constitutes a failing evaluation. Any element of the evaluation that states the student is not safe or is unsafe will result in a “0” for the final evaluation and failure of the course.
Final evaluation will be worth 300 points and will follow the grading rubric below:
Score of 4 to 5 all 300 points awarded
Score of 3 to 3.9 = 240/300 points awarded 
Score of 2.5 to 2.9 = 210/300 points awarded
Score of 2.4 and below = 0
Students must also complete both the evaluation of their preceptor and site for credit. The evaluations provide faculty an overview of your clinical performance and experiences with your preceptor and clinical location. The final clinical evaluation is required to pass the course.
Failure to complete all clinical hours or all associated Rx Preceptor documentation (clinical time log, patient encounter log, preceptor evaluation of student, and student evaluation of preceptor) will result in failure of the course.
