Mastery Learning for TBSN Students

Mastery learning is a teaching strategy used to build competencies and skills based on predetermined standards. This approach allows for feedback and individual practice based on well-defined evidenced-based standards. The College of Nursing identified skills that were critical for student success; however, these skills do not encompass all nursing skills available.

Students are responsible for all content covered in labs and simulations. Students are required to successfully complete the Mastery Learning skills assigned to each course to progress in the class. These skills are listed below.

Mastery Skills

Clinical Immersion I

Health Assessment

Clinical Immersion II

Clinical Immersion IV

Clinical Immersion VI

Expectations

Students will receive Mastery Learning Skill rubrics per coordinators for each course. Each student will have time to learn and practice skills throughout the semester in labs/simulations and on their own.

Mastery Learning Testing Procedure

Mastery Learning Skills will be deemed unsuccessful based on the pre-designated rubric for each skill. Each rubric includes a passing score and critical steps the student must complete to pass the defined skill successfully.
