Proctored Exams
Students in Psychiatric Nursing are required to take the Kaplan psychosocial integrated exam
and the Kaplan customized final exam. Both exams are proctored and administered on specific
dates and times here at GHC. The Kaplan Proctored exam is standardized while the Kaplan Final
exam is customized.
Kaplan
Kaplan integrated (proctored) exams provide the students with a percent correct based on a raw
score and the corresponding percentile ranking. This exam is a standardized exam and as such is
used to see how the student ranks nationwide. This ranking is then translated into a grade as
shown in the GHC Kaplan grading scale below. The benchmark for the Psychosocial Integrated
exam is 66.6% or 52nd percentile. Any student who scores at or above the benchmark will
receive the corresponding grade as shown in the scale below. Students who score below the
benchmark (less than 66.6%) will receive the percent correct as shown in their exam. The Kaplan
exams will be administered in the computer lab.

Kaplan Customized Cumulative final exam Students in NUR-223 will take a Kaplan customized final exam on 4/19/17. This exam is comprehensive and customized to the syllabus. Professionalism Professionalism is a critical aspect of training. It prepares the student nurse for a discipline that is steeped in rules of conduct and professional behavior. As a part of a continuous assessment of professionalism, the following behaviors are deemed unacceptable because they interfere with a positive learning environment or pose a threat to safety and/or security: 1. Wearing a non GHC attire (poses a security risk). 2. Eating in the class room (threatens a positive learning environment). 3. Drinking from a non-spilled-proof container (poses a risk to safety). 4. Behaving in a disrespectful manner towards faculty/students (threatens a positive learning environment and poses a security risk). 5. Using cell phones / failing to use the silence mode on phones during lecture/clinical/examinations (threatens a positive learning environment). Professionalism accounts for 2.5% of the student’s total grade. Students are required to follow GHC policy as outlined in the catalog and on the syllabus. Professionalism will be graded weekly. Students with no violations for the week will earn a score of 100%; however, students will lose 25points from their weekly professionalism grade for each infraction. For example if a student elects to eat in class and use their cell phone during class within the same week, then a total of 50points will be deducted from their professionalism grade, which will result in an earned score of 50% for that week.

Instructor (paper- based or electronic), within 15 minutes from start of class. For assignments
turned in beyond the specified time, students can earn a maximum grade of 50% on day one.
Assignments not submitted 2 days after due date will be recorded as a “Zero”. Students found
to have committed acts of academic dishonesty such as plagiarism or cheating risk failure
of the assignment and/or failure/dismissal from the program or course.
Cellular telephones: Students MUST turn off cell phones when they enter the classroom and
refrain from sending and receiving calls and text messages while in the classroom. If a student
has a legitimate reason to remain reachable by cell phone (example: a parent who needs to be
contacted about a child), the student should ask for the instructor’s permission (in advance) to
have the cell phone on during class. It is reasonable that the instructor would agree to such a
request.
Laptop computers: Using laptop computers in the classroom to take notes and for any other use
authorized by the course instructor can be allowed. However, the instructor may restrict the use
of laptops to this (these) purpose(s) and prohibit other uses of laptops such as instant messaging,
game playing, and Internet surfing during class time. The instructor can also disallow the use of
laptop computers in the classroom. Calculators are a class requirement.
EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING
1. Students are expected to attend class and participate in class discussions.
2. Students are expected to read the assigned readings prior to each class. Students are
expected to come to class prepared to discuss the scheduled material. Many of the readings
are pertinent to class and lab and will be of benefit in both places. It will be of great benefit
to complete the workbook when you are reading for class. This will help you focus on the
important points. Remember the golden rule: For each hour you spend in class every
week, you should be spending at least 3 hours out of class every week for preparation
and study. For a 3 credit hour course, you should be spending no less than 9 hours a
week studying.
3. Students should review anatomy and physiology associated with the course topics BEFORE
