Academic nursing programs are tasked to generate the future nursing workforce by ensuring upon graduation students are practice-ready to provide competent and safe care. In the educational process, nursing students deserve and learn best when instructional teaching methods integrate individualized and engaging learning approaches. However, delivering individualized education using traditional clinical teaching approaches is a daunting task, and ensuring nursing students master the cognitive knowledge, psychomotor skills, and affective behaviors necessary to perform the nursing role is not easily evaluated or confirmed.

This presentation describes an innovative clinical education approach, Simulation-Based Mastery Learning (SBML), integrated into clinical education engaging individualized teaching approaches, including identification of learner needs and deliberate practice, and ensured competence, confirmed through mastery evaluations. Presented topics include the theoretical underpinnings of SBML, educational needs appropriate for integrating a SBML approach, and a brief review of the literature supporting SBML effectiveness.

Her clinical background is in Neonatal Intensive Care where she fulfilled roles including unit educator and regional outreach education focusing on improving morbidity and mortality outcomes. She has a unique educator experience integrating simulation for both medical and nursing programs. At the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics, her responsibilities included incorporating needs-based simulation training in clinical and academic settings. In her current role as a simulation director, she oversees simulation administration, including management of simulation personnel, integration into curricula, facilitation logistics, and necessary elements for program accreditation.

The recent pandemic thrust nursing educators into an entirely different realm of teaching. It does not appear it is going to disappear anytime soon as hybrid modules of teaching and learning remain evident across the nation. This presentation hopes to define, explain, and discuss applications of various types of teaching strategies such as remote simulation, tele-simulation, augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality methods. Examples in both the undergraduate and graduate nursing setting will be discussed.

This webinar is part of the Lippincott® Nursing Education Speaker Series co-sponsored by the National League for Nursing and are led by experienced leaders in nursing education. Topics focus on the issues that matter most to you and help address the changes needed to engage today’s students, and for clinical readiness, and NCLEX® success.

Covid-19 disrupted healthcare and exposed cracks in an already fractured system and the impact on the nursing workforce and in education was tremendous. This session will help deans and senior nursing academics understand the impact to practice, including innovations in care delivery models, rapid-onboarding, cross-training, workforce management, and culture change to ensure workforce resilience. In addition, it will highlight opportunities for new innovative digital teaching strategies, simulation, practice/academic partnerships, nurse internship programs, and retooled orientation programs to support student success and readiness for practice.

The last year was chock-full of uncertainty and disruption but what lies ahead for nursing education? This webinar will provide participants an opportunity to reflect on our future with scientific insights and major trends shaping higher education, teaching, and learning. Consider how strategies like retrieval practice and spacing can help students commit important content to long-term memory. Educators should reflect on how new adaptive technology can provide a personalized student experience while also fostering in the use of learning analytics and machine intelligence. New evidence and projections from industry experts will frame important dialogue about technology and socioeconomic factors that will impact our future. Are nursing education’s big ideas innovative, agile, equitable, and sustainable?

Teaching higher-level reasoning skills in nursing education is paramount for the success of our future professional nurses. As professional nurses we have content expertise in the practice of nursing. As nurse educators we often believe in the misconception that learners are empty vessels into which our expertise can be poured. Content, in and of itself, compelling as it may seem, cannot teach itself. Recent advances in neuroscience research are unveiling intriguing discoveries about how our brain functions—and more importantly, how brain-based learning is changing the face of education today. Join this webinar dialogue on moving from the bedside to brain – the science and art of good teaching.

This webinar will address innovative ways to meet clinical outcomes such as the use of screen-based simulation programs and using video conferencing software to conduct simulations and debriefing. Nurse educators will be able to utilize innovative teaching/learning strategies to meet student’s clinical outcomes in a remote environment as an outcome of the session.

This webinar will include a panel of simulation leaders in nursing education discussing reopening the simulation and lab space in fall of 2020. Returning to a future of opportunities and challenges, the session will cover a range of topics related to creating safe simulation spaces with cleaning protocols, social distancing, personnel management and more. Time will be allotted for Q&A and the session is valid for 1 CE hour.

This second of two webcasts builds on the components of clinical judgment and demonstrates how they work together in a model/framework for teaching clinical judgment. The model/framework that will be presented provides a clear, understandable way to each and learn clinical judgment. Join the webinar to learn how your graduates can prepare for the Next Gen NCLEX and be able to explain to nurse recruiters, in no uncertain terms, how they learned clinical judgment to improve patient outcomes.

As nurse educators, we know you’re challenged even more in this current environment as you teach, engage, and prepare your students for course success and success in their transition to practice. This webcast will discuss tactical suggestions and tips to conduct your courses online, ideas for teaching case studies in a virtual environment, and will allow plenty of time for Q&A to help you transition to online learning in this time of change.

While good at what we do as nurses, not every nurse who finds herself in a faculty role has a background in teaching students. This webinar will provide information about what to do and not do in the classroom—be it distance or in person—to help improve your teaching skills and make you a more effective nurse educator.

Transforming nursing education is not easy. Working collaboratively to improve our understanding of today’s learner will result in improved teaching strategies that will have a direct effect on the learning process. Reach beyond the usual and customary techniques and uncover modern insights on today’s learners. This webinar will provide participants with new insights on how the use of the most recent neural research and educational strategies which are ‘brain friendly’ make for effective teaching. These techniques emphasize the need for teachers to link learning concepts to students' daily lives, emotional experiences and their previous learning experiences.

Nurses use a variety of skills to care for patients. Nursing faculty are well versed in clinical judgment in their everyday practice in teaching nursing students to make those pertinent nursing care decisions. The goal of this webinar is to provide a theoretical basis for clinical judgment and to apply its use in item writing NCLEX-style questions for nursing exams.

At the end of this seminar, you will be able to:

• Review current evidence of clinical judgement in nursing decision making
• Use the principles of clinical judgement to item writing principles
• Demonstrate the ability to write questions at the various cognitive levels of Bloom’s revised taxonomy

The use of machine learning and predictive analytics brings great promise for the future of education, but it is not a panacea. Data can guide our understanding of learner behavior and learning outcomes as well as assist in personalizing instruction to meet individual needs of learners. Nurse educators have a legal and ethical imperative to ensure appropriate use of student data and predictor exam scores. In this session, we will discuss how a data-driven approach can inform programmatic policy and the perils and pitfalls of predictive analytics.
