Common use of Skills Testing Clause in Contracts

Skills Testing. All nursing students are tested on their clinical skills each quarter and are responsible to master the clinical skills specified by the Nursing Program prior to the day of Skills Testing. Questions about skills will not be permitted on the day of Skills Testing and instructors supervising the testing are not allowed to set aside a skill to accommodate students who say they do not feel prepared for that skill regardless of the reason. Skills testing normally occurs on a clinical day. Students are given two chances to perform a skill accurately. If a student fails the second skills test, a Plan for Improvement- Skills PI will be implemented which extends to the next course. The student will not be allowed to perform the skill in the clinical setting until he/she practices the skill in the lab and demonstrates satisfactory performance of the skill to the Nursing Skills Lab Associate.
