3. Syllabus
Module 1*. Medical Hospitalization Units
Module 2*. Surgical Hospitalization Units
Module 3*. Special Care Units
Module 4*. Primary Care Centres
*All students will rotate through the four modules in random order.
4. Academic activities
-Supervised internships in health care centres:
Inpatient Medical Units, Inpatient Surgical Units, Infant Care Units, Maternity Care Units, Geriatric Care Units, Mental Health Units, School Nursing, EPA, Emergency Maternity Care Units, Geriatric Care Units, Mental Health Units, School Nursing, EFA, Emergency, ICU, Dialysis, Primary Care Centres.
-Practical seminars given by the ASCS teaching staff, in the assistance units where the internships are carried out (minimum 2 per module).
5. Assessment system
Students must demonstrate that they have achieved the expected learning results through a continuous and individualized tutorial evaluation . Such evaluation is performed through daily observation of the nursing activity performed by the student under supervision. This observation is transferred, by the associate teacher of health sciences, to the rubrics in which the procedures to be evaluated and whether or not the competency has been achieved are specified. These rubrics are described in the Curricular External Internships Manual.
a. Description. The different care activities in the 4 areas in which the Practicum is developed will be evaluated (from 0 to 10).
b. Levels of demand. A minimum grade of 5 must be achieved in each of the modules to be averaged in the final grade of the subject.
c. Criteria. -Correct performance of the procedure (necessary material, relationship with the patient, precautions, observations and recording) -Management of the protocols established in the different units, both collaborative protocols and standardized care plans -Autonomy in the individualization of nursing care (selection of the appropriate protocol, correct application, recording and follow-up and/or evaluation).
d. Final grade. It is the average value of the grade of all modules, provided they are passed.
Other aspects
The student may accumulate up to a maximum of 20% of excused absences that must be made up.
In the event that the number of absences exceeds 20% (in each service), the internship will be assessed as failed. Students who, in the performance of their representative responsibilities in the different university bodies, miss practices for these duly justified reasons, will not have to make them up and their evaluation will be based exclusively on the competencies acquired.
In case of excused absence the student should contact the corresponding associate teacher to make up for such absences. It is also the student's responsibility to communicate to the responsible teacher, if possible in advance, any event that prevents them from attending the internship at the established schedule.
Students who, for whatever reason, do not pass a module, will recover it during the second half of May, June and the first days of July (until the day that the University indicates as a non-teaching day) in order to be graded in the second or extraordinary call in July. If the subject is not passed again, or in June had not passed two or more modules, the student must unroll and take the subject the following year. The Associate Teacher of the health care center directs and supervises the students' practical health care activity. For its evaluation, they will follow the evaluation criteria mentioned above without being able to propose any other type of additional evaluation activities.
In the evaluation and activities, the characteristics of the center where the degree is taught will be taken into account for Huesca and Teruel, always ensuring the acquisition of competencies.
