Information Bulletin for Nursing Students

Math Placement Testing

Please read this bulletin carefully

Now that you have been accepted to the BN (Collaborative) Program there is an

academic matter that must be satisfied soon.

In Year 2 you will take a course NURS 2004 Pharmacology and Nutritional Therapies.

An acceptable level of mathematical proficiency is required as a prerequisite to ensure

accuracy in calculating medication dosages in this course. Therefore, one of the

pre-requisites that must be satisfied before you take NURS 2004 (Fall of Year 2) is the

completion of three credits in university level Math, Math N102

or

achievement of a

score of

at least 50

on the Mathematics Placement Test (MPT). If you do not achieve

this score, you must successfully complete Math 102N before taking NURS 2004

Pharmacology and Nutritional Therapies.

What is the MPT?

The MPT is used to determine knowledge of mathematical skills required for entry into

various math courses as well as being a prerequisite for NURS 2004 Pharmacology and

Nutritional Therapies in the Bachelor of Nursing (Collaborative) Program. The MPT

consists of 100 multiple-choice questions, broken down into five questions each, in 20

topics/areas. These topics range across all types of mathematical topics, from

elementary topics to more advanced topics that are currently taught in the provincial

school system. The use of a calculator is not permitted on the MPT. Further

information about the MPT including sample questions can be found at the Mathematics

Department home page

http://www.math.mun.ca/

[click Mathematics Placement Test

(MPT)].

What do I do if I have already done the Math Skills Inventory at the College of the

North Atlantic or have university level Math credits?

If you have completed the Math Skills Inventory at the College of the North Atlantic, and

have received a passing grade, you may be exempt from the MPT. In order to be

exempt you must have an official letter from the instructor at the College of the North

Atlantic sent to the Mathematics department at MUN with the grade, the year and

semester completed and request to have it added to your transcript as a substitute for

the MPT.

If you have already taken 3 credit hours in university mathematics (excluding Statistics

2500) and you achieved at least a 50% in that course you

do not

have to take the MPT.

Proof of completion of the Math course is required. If you have completed the Math

course at another university or college, a transfer credit is required.

(6)

When must I take the MPT?

You can take the MPT only once.

MUNSON and CNS students: MPT testing is offered at the beginning of each

semester. N102 is offered at MUN campus during the Fall, Winter, and Spring

semesters. Ensure that you have enough time to obtain the testing and complete

remedial work if necessary.

WRSON students:. To ensure sufficient time to develop the required

mathematical proficiency, should remedial work be necessary, you must complete the

MPT at the start of the Fall Semester in which you are admitted to the nursing program.

N102 is offered in the Spring semester only.

How do I arrange to take the MPT?

Any student who is (conditionally) accepted to the university can register for the MPT in

the same way you register for any other course. If you check the Course Offerings

posted on the web by the Office of the Registrar you will see the available times to write

the MPT (listed as MATH 1MPT). Please take careful note of the date, time and

location of the test as you register. Please note that out-of-province students who did

not write the MPT as a university admission requirement, must write it as a pre-requisite

for NURS 2004.

You can register to take the MPT by visiting the Memorial University Math Department

website at

http://www.math.mun.ca/

please do this as soon as you receive this package.

For students accepted at the Corner Brook site who need to take the MPT, you must

take the MPT that is scheduled for the Tuesday, September 8

th;

2:30 – 4:30 p.m. (

the

day before the first day of classes, in the fall semester at Grenfell Campus

)

. Students at

the Corner Brook site who do not meet the pass mark of 50% on the MPT will be able to

complete the course during the Intercession at Grenfell Campus. Further information will

be provided to students during orientation.

How much does the MPT cost?

The MPT is free.

How do I find out the results of the MPT?

All students may also find their MPT score at

http://www.math.mun.ca/

. At the

Mathematics Department home page click Mathematics Placement Test (MPT). There

will be a list of results at the end of the page. Choose the date on which you wrote the

(7)

test. In addition, for those students who write the MPT at Grenfell Campus in

September, the grades are also sent to the School of Nursing.

What if the student does not make the pass mark on the MPT?

Students are expected to achieve a score of at least 50 on the MPT to satisfy the

pre-requisite requirement.

If you do not meet the required score on the MPT you must upgrade your mathematical

skills through the Mathematics Skills Program (Mathematics 102N). Mathematics 102N

is a non-credit course that is offered in Fall,

Winter and Spring semesters on St. John’s

Campus; it is offered during intercession at Grenfell Campus. It has a workload and

class time equivalent to a three credit hour course and it carries the same tuition fees as

a three credit hour course. You must successfully complete Math 102N before you

can register for NURS 2004 in Fall semester of year two of the BN (Collaborative)

Program.

Students are strongly encouraged to take Math 102N during the fall semester at St.

John’s sites and intercession at Corner Brook site. However, any student who needs to

take Math 102N as a sixth course in a particular semester should consult the Associate

Dean/Director of your site as soon as you obtain your MPT results.

How much work is involved with Mathematics102N?

The workload is similar to any three credit hour course. The expectation is that each

student taking Mathematics 102N will attend class three times a week (50 minutes each

session) and complete assigned homework.

What happens if I don’t successfully complete Math 102N prior to Year 2 of the

BN (Collaborative) Program?

Failure to successfully complete Math 102N [if needed] prior to N2004 will result in a full

year delay in your progression through the BN (Collaborative) Program.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Year 1 Students (Class 2019)

FROM: Anne Marie Tracey, Associate Director Lorna Walsh, Year 1 & 2 Coordinator DATE: June 26, 2015

RE: General Guidelines/Information

...

One of our roles is to advise students on matters related to the academic program in nursing. Our offices are located on 11th floor of Southcott Hall, Rooms 1125 and 1121. To help prepare you for your first semester at the Centre for Nursing Studies, please read the following

information and pay particular attention to matters that require action by you. Good luck and congratulations on being accepted into Nursing! We look forward to meeting all of you. 1. Academic Regulations: Memorial University Calendar & CNS Student Handbook

Students should become familiar with the General University Academic Regulations (Undergraduate) and the Nursing Program Academic Standards and Promotions and other regulations. These are available on line at www.mun.ca. As well, the CNS

Student Handbook contains critical information that you will need to refer to on a regular basis. This Handbook will be provided to you in September. It is also available on line at www.centrefornursingstudies.ca.

2. Pre-Clinical Placement Requirements

As indicated in a separate memo, these documents are to be returned by August 24th. Students who do not submit their documents, as outlined in the Pre-Clinical Placement Booklet, will not be permitted to attend clinical learning experiences. This could interfere with subsequent progress in the program.

3 Student Identification

Year 1 students will be required to purchase two items of identification:

a) Photo ID: Photo ID’s will be taken during orientation on Tuesday, September 8th. They are to be purchased at the Centre at a cost of $5 per student. This ID is required for security purposes and must be worn at all times. Payment must be made during Registration.

b)

CNS Name Tag

: This name tag will have the CNS logo, your name and the designation Bachelor of Nursing Student. It must be purchased at the Centre at a cost of $10.

(11)

General Guidelines/Information

Class 2019 Page 2

An order form for the name tag is included in this package. Completed order forms and payment must be submitted during Registration on September 8th.

4. CNS Parking Permits for the 2015-2016 Academic Year

A limited number of parking permits will be made available to students in each

year/program. A parking permit does not guarantee a parking place. These permits will be valid only for the student parking lot. The cost will be $10 and the permit will be valid from September 2015 – August 2016.

A permit application is included in this package. You will need to provide the vehicle model, color and license plate number before a permit can be issued. Bring this application with you to registration on September 8th. A random draw will occur in September for available permits.

Students are not permitted to park in any areas at the L.A. Miller Centre Site other than the Student Parking Lot. If you park in Staff Parking, 9E, 9C or Visitors’ Parking areas, you will be ticketed by Security.

The Student Parking Lot is situated to the far right of the DVA Pavilion, L.A. Miller Centre.

5. Payment for Photo ID, CNS Nametag CNS Lanyard and Parking Permit

Time has been allotted during the 08:30 – 09:15 Registration session on Tuesday, September 8th for payment of these fees. See separate attachment for more information.

6. Nursing Society Fees

All students are members of the Nursing Society. A $5 Nursing Society Fee will be collected on Tuesday, September 8th from 08:30-09:15. Please note that this fee is different from the Student Union, Canadian Federation of Students’ and the Canadian Nursing Student Association fees which are included with your tuition costs. All students are required to pay this fee.

Welcome First Year Nursing Students!

Congratulations on being accepted to the Centre for Nursing Studies! Each year Memorial

University students participate in the largest university and college student fundraiser in the

country –

SHINERAMA!

Shinerama is above and beyond the most rewarding event you will

participate in during orientation week, not to mention the most fun! You will be one of over

35,000 students from coast to coast who will be participating in Shinerama in an effort to raise

money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Last year, as a nation, we raised over one million dollars for

this worthy cause.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting young Canadians today.

In 1960 a child with CF rarely lived to attend kindergarten, let alone university. However, since

Shinerama began in 1964, the life expectancy for those with CF has increased from four years of

age to the late forties!! Although there is no cure at present, there is great hope! It is very

probable that within our lifetime a cure will be found which is what makes raising money for CF

such a worthwhile cause.

Since 1987, Memorial University, MUN School of Nursing, and the Centre for Nursing Studies

have partnered with Shinerama to raise thousands of dollars annually on

“Shine Day”

. This year

our goal is to raise $20,000 to help reach our nation-wide goal of over 1 million dollars!

What can you do?

On

Friday, September 11

th

,

we will be holding our annual

“Shine Day”

in St. John’s. Starting

at 9 am, hundreds of students from our nursing school as well as MUN campus will hit the

streets with one goal in mind – to raise awareness about CF in our community and to raise as

much money as we can for Cystic Fibrosis Canada!

Shine Day

is also an excellent opportunity

for all of our nursing students to get involved with a meaningful cause. As first year students

coming from high school, MUN campus, and other university and college programs,

participating in Shinerama is an excellent way to get to know your fellow students!

On

Shine Day

you will find us – your Shinerama Committee – at the

University Centre

on

MUN campus. We will be there to motivate you for the day ahead, filling your tummies with

yummy snacks and giving you all the information you need to

SHINE

! There are prizes to be

(25)

won for our dedicated volunteers. We will also be hosting a number of fundraisers throughout

the summer to contribute to our goal.

Want to start early?

Please like MUN Shinerama on Facebook. We are challenging our first year students to begin

fundraising even before the university year begins. Attached is a

Sponsor Sheet/Pledge Form –

which we request that you use to collect donations over the summer in aid of Shinerama and

Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The nursing student with the

MOST

sponsors will receive a prize

!

We

will be at the University Centre on orientation day to collect all funds raised! If you have any

questions or are interested in more information about

Shinerama

, feel free to contact me, Ryan

Bennett, Shinerama Coordinator 2015.

As future nurses, you may one day encounter patients with this devastating disease. Imagine

how rewarding it will be to know that you have contributed to a cure – or at least effective

control – for this fatal disease. I hope that everyone will enthusiastically participate in this

wonderful event. Believe me, it will be worth it!

Have a safe and happy summer. Best of luck in your nursing program and I look forward to

seeing you all at

Shine Day

in September!
