ANNEX B

GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTING RELATED LEARNING EXPERIENCE (RLE)

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum is a competency-based and community-oriented curriculum. The teaching-learning process is best achieved by the proper selection and organization of learning experiences in a given situation. Hence, the challenges depend greatly in the preparedness and ability of the faculty to organize the learning experiences in the classroom or various health situations based on the clearly-defined objectives.

The RLE are viewed in terms of changes in the behavior of the students and not just in terms of content. The faculty must be competent in selecting RLE that will provide for continuity, sequence and integration of principles, concepts, skills and values that have been previously learned in the classroom and other situations.

In coming up with the proposed formula for determining cost of RLE per student, consideration was given to (a) Rules and Standards of Nursing Education and the prescribed units and hours for the RLE in the BSN Curriculum, (b) faculty preparation, and competence. The following should be considered:

1. A class is composed of 48-50 students.

2. Faculty-student Ratio per semester and year level

3rd Year level	1:8-10 students to a group (1st Semester)
	1:8-12 students to a group (2nd Semester)

4th Year level	1:12-15 students to a group

3. Related Learning Experiences hours required 2142 hours

4. PHC I - 153 hours

PHC II	-	102 hours
NCM 100	-	51 hours
NCM 101	-	408 hours
NCM 102	-	408 hours
NCM 103	-	204 hours
NCM 104	-	408 hours
NCM 105	-	408 hours

Total 2142 hours

5. Basis for Computation to Determine RLE Fee

No. of hours assigned to faculty X hourly rate = RLE Fee

6. Computation of RLE Hours

1 unit = 51 hours
