Clinical practices give students the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills, attitudes and values in a real and complex professional environment, always accompanied by a teaching nurse (Associate Professor Clinical Teacher).

They consist of a stay of approximately 9 weeks in a PRIMARY CARE service appropriate to the training needs and during which each student will be assigned a nurse from the unit where he performs the practices that he watches over and guides his learning process. individualized and continuous form.

You can check the shifts and schedules in the calendar published on the website. These schedules can be modified according to the needs of the services.

Reflective journals: It is a compilation of those situations experienced during practice that have aroused some emotion, either positive or negative with an impact on the learning process. Fortnightly delivery in the form of written work via Moodle.

The cost of public transportation to move to care centers and homes is borne by the student.

IMPORTANT: These schedules can be modified according to the teacher.

Within the curriculum of the Nursing Degree, the Practicum subjects are part of the External Practice subject. The skills and learning outcomes of the External Practice subject will be worked on and evaluated throughout the different practicums depending on the context and area in which each of the practicums is developed. Throughout the development of the clinical practice stays from the 2nd to the 4th year, the achievement of all the clinical practice skills of the degree will be ensured
This subject does NOT provide for the single assessment system.
Evaluation criteria
The final grade of the subject corresponds to the sum of the clinical practices grade (PEXT) and that of the Reflective Notebook (QR) with the following weighting:
- 70% of the grade corresponds to the clinical practices.
- 30% of the grade corresponds to the reflective notebook.
To pass the subject, each of the competency groups of clinical practices and reflective notebooks must be approved with a minimum grade of 5.

Attendance control:
* \"Monitoring sheet\": By signing this document daily, the nurse responsible for each student confirms the schedule carried out during the practice day. This document will serve as proof for the calculation of hours for the subject.
The only person responsible for the document is the student. They must keep it updated and will be responsible for the veracity of the content of the information that is recorded. This document will be delivered at the end of the practicum period to their associate nurse professor and delivered digitally (scanned) on the Virtual Campus.
This document can be requested, at any time, for its control, by the people responsible for the practicums and/or participating teachers of the subject.
It is mandatory to complete the entire clinical practice period scheduled in the teaching calendar regardless of the schedule in which the practices are carried out.
Any interruption of service attendance is considered an absence. These may be:
a) Excused absences, the following situations:
- Deaths of close relatives and relatives
- Specialist medical visit
- Acute illnesses
- Driving license exam
- Official university exam
- Official language tests
- Those that have the approval of the coordinator of the subject.
Students must present a duly completed justification to their teacher and record it in the \"Monitoring Form\" document.
b) UNJUSTIFIED ABSENCES: Those that do not appear in the previous list and have not been authorized by the coordination of the subject.
Students will record their Unjustified Absence in the \"Monitoring Form\" document and agree with their teacher how to recover the pending hours. At the end of the course, 1 point will be deducted from the final grade (from 0 to 10) for each day of absence.
c) Strikes, Demonstrations:
Maintaining the rights of students and following the recommendations of the rectorate, students who individually wish to join a call for any of the student unions must previously notify their teacher and the internship service. They must also record this in the \"Monitoring Sheet\" document. This day will be considered completed and cannot be recovered.
d) UNJUSTIFIED AND UNNOTIFIED absence: It may lead to the failure of the course.
e) Lateness: Having more than 5 latenesses (start and end of shift, meals, etc.) throughout the course period may lead to the failure of the course.
Absences must be reported as early as possible to the associate professor and the internship service in order to reduce interference with the learning process and agree on a day to make up. All hours missed due to absences must be made up within the internship period.
* Attendance is mandatory for all scheduled hours and in the assigned shift and time.
Both justified and unjustified absences must be made up within the scheduled clinical internship period with prior authorization from the responsible professor and the internship service.

Clinical Internships (PEXT):
Continuous and formative evaluation throughout the period. Approximately halfway through, the associate professor, nurse, together with the nurse, will summarize the information obtained so far and discuss it with each student. In this formative evaluation, the level of achievement of the proposed objectives will be worked on, the strengths to highlight and the weaknesses to improve with the relevant recommendations. Similarly, students will make their own self-evaluation and discuss it with the teacher.
Final evaluation:

At the end of the clinical practice period, the nurse will complete a final report on the skills achieved by the students. Similarly, at the end of the period, each student will do their self-evaluation and discuss it with the nurse and the associate nurse professor.

About the reflective notebooks:
- The reflections derived from the preparation of the notebooks that arose in the context of clinical practice will be evaluated. Respect for the plurality of ideas, people and situations will be taken into account. The ability to identify strategies for improving learning will also be assessed.
- There will be a rubric with the items to be assessed that also includes presentation guidelines (style, spelling, expression, etc.). The recommendations for the preparation of the reflective notebook must be followed.
- The completion of the biweekly Reflective Notebook is mandatory, the delivery dates will be specified by each professor.
- Submissions must be made exclusively via the virtual campus.
- Assignments submitted outside the agreed deadline will not be evaluated. The grade for that submission will be: 0. Extraordinary submission periods will not be opened.
- The associate professor nurse will evaluate the reflective notebooks, according to the rubric that appears on the virtual campus, taking into account the content and presentation of the work with the following considerations:
• Describe significant experiential situations in detail
• Clearly identify possible causes
• Describe what needs to be improved in relation to the described experience
• Propose actions to improve your learning that are realistic and related to the described experience
• Respect the presentation regulations
- The result is a numerical score between 0-10

Obtaining the final grade:

According to agreement 4.4 of the Governing Council of 17/11/2010 of the evaluation regulations, the grades will be:
• Fail: <5
• Pass: from 5 to 6.9
• Remarkable: from 7 to 8.9
• Excellent: >9
• Honors enrollment: >9
According to the regulations on the permanence regime in studies official undergraduate and master's degrees of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, a \"Not assessable\" will be assigned to students who have not been able to provide sufficient evidence of assessment.

- Exceeding 20% of the hours of unexcused absence during the practicum period.
- Failure to submit assignments within the deadlines established by the professor.
In the event of failure, given the characteristics of the subject, it is NOT possible to recover it

Use of AI:
• Prohibited use: In this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not allowed in the preparation of reflective notebooks. Any reflective notebook that includes fragments generated with AI will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty on the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.

NOTE:
