Nursing Students Student Assist

Published

Hi!

I am in a panic as I've just accidentally knocked my cup of coffee over my portfolio and a few pages of signed competencies have been ruined :nailbiting: has this happened to anyone else and what did you do?!! Can I reprint the pages and get them resigned as it's due in in 3 weeks!! Or will this fail me ahhh. Personal tutor is yet to reply to me!

thank you in advance

a very worried 3rd year student nurse!!!

What is the purpose of the portfolio?

Are these for skill checkoffs? If so, they should have a master list with students' competencies.

Ruined as in "unreadable" or ruined as in "coffee stains all over them."

If it's the latter, it's not so big a deal. Likely the instructors will re-sign them if shown the coffee-stained original. And even if not, they still show that you completed those competencies. If they were signed by staff at your clinical site, you're probably just going to have to live with it.

If it's the former, you're in a heap of trouble.

The only person to answer this is a faculty member.
