Kelsey did not pass her Nursing II practicum.  She is aware that it is necessary to pass the practicum to pass Nursing II.  Kelsey was ill last week and I allowed her the opportunity to postpone her repeat catheterization practicum if she was not able to that day.  She agreed and stated she would take it the next week.  During her second attempt, Kelsey stated some of her breaks in sterile technique but was not aware of others.  I stopped Kelsey prior to the actually catheterization and explained to her why I stopped her.  I told her this would not count as her second attempt since she did not complete the procedure.  I told her she would have to repeat the catheterization next week.  We reviewed sterile technique and how she contaminated.  She stated an understanding of the above and will take her practicum next week.  Kelsey is aware that if she does not pass the practicum she cannot move on to Level III.   Mrs. Miller
