Before you attend intensives, you must review the PowerPoints associated with the various skills and complete (and pass) the appropriate quiz in your Canvas shell.
You must also complete the required, associated simulation pre-simulation homework (questions) that are within your course.
**If you do not complete all required skills quizzes with a passing grade (80%), you will not be allowed to attend and participate in the intensive experience!**
You only need to complete the following before attending intensives: Head-to-Toe & vital sign/pain assessments, Foley catheter insertion, IV infusions, NG tube insertion, parenteral medication administration, peripheral IV insertion, and tracheostomy suctioning and care.
Additionally, please use your health assessment and clinical kits to practice the skills and assessments you will complete as checkoffs. Please take a look below for the list of items that should be included in your kits and used for practice at home before arriving at intensives!
