Week 4 Assignment  

Clinical VISE Assignment

Purpose:

The VISE assignment (Virtual Interactive Student Evaluation) is to evaluate student progress in clinical, based on per course clinical objectives.  This will be a mid-term check to identify and assist students who may be struggling with clinical critical thinking and communication.  Students who do not pass the VISE on the first attempt will be placed on a clinical PIP and given a second attempt at passing the VISE prior to course end.  The student must successfully pass the VISE to pass clinical within a course.

Directions:

These will be done by phone between the VP and the student sometime between the beginning of Week 3 and the end of Week 5. Immediately following the VISE the VP and student will do the mid-term phone call check in and review of clinical. VPs should have clinical logs pulled up to review with the student.

601 VISE-This virtual check builds upon skills learned in NR 511 and emphasizes appropriate conversation with patients, succinct data gathering, and the patient clinical experience.  The VP will enter the student’s clinical logs and pick one patient (with a minor acute illness) that the student has documented from clinical.  The VP will then review that log and note with the student that the patient is calling back for one of the following. 

Medication failure

Worsening of symptoms

Failure to improve

Allergic reaction/rash to medication

New symptom

The job of the student in this situation is not necessarily to pick treatment, but to data gather with the patient so that an appropriate decision can be made and also provide patient education on homecare or follow up.

Refer to the VISE rubric for more information.
