Medication Calculation Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) Policy
The student must demonstrate 90% competency on the medication calculation CBA (exam) within three (3) attempts in specified courses (see deadlines in table below). Until this competency is met, an “unsatisfactory grade” will be earned in clinical related to medication administration; thus, the student may NOT administer medications. If a student is not successful by the 3rd attempt, the student will be immediately withdrawn from the course.
