Preconference Sessions Tuesday, April 12
Learn how to fully engage your learner in clinical simulation, captivating
their emotions through environmental surroundings (“the set”), scenario
specific clothing (“costumes”), and/or moulage techniques (“make-up”). The
basic essentials and supplies (brushes, make-up, etc) needed to create a
realistic environment will be discussed as well as different types of patients (the
“characters”). To make the scenario (“script”) come alive, everyone practices with
several mediums to create simple lacerations, bruising, and blisters. At the end of
the simulation experience (“production”), the staff will learn how to clean up the
environment (“strike the set”) and save the disposables. Handouts will detail how
to create the wounds, recipes and pictures.
This session will focus on the issue of incivility in academic nursing education
in both face to face and online courses. Debra will discuss the increase in incivility
in nursing education and higher education and it consequences to learning. The
session will focus on tools to deal with incivility, developing a civil environment
for students (including writing a policy and effective communication) and coping
mechanisms for faculty and students. Never believe that a few caring people can't
change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have. (Margaret Mead)
This session provides strategies in motivating and retaining online students
for success in meeting program outcomes and maintaining student satisfaction.
Lauren shares the necessary concepts for online teaching to meet student needs,
specific methods to engage the learner, and motivating and retaining students.
Discussion-based teaching tips will be offered for new online teachers who
want to generate thoughtful discussion, and to experienced online instructors
who are not yet satisfied with the level of engagement of students in online
courses. Faculty will leave the presentation with a broad understanding of the
needs of the virtual learner, and current EBP teaching tips that can be quickly
implemented into online course instruction to enhance student learning.
This session is Beyond the PICOT and Searching for Evidence steps in the EBP
process! Nurse educators will be provided a comparison of EBP, QI and Research,
and an overview of types of evidence. Focus will be on components of the
appraisal process to assist students to determine applicability of the evidence.
Tools for evaluating and synthesizing the evidence for clinical decision making
will be presented.
Linda conducted a thorough review and analysis of the nursing concept-
based curriculum literature and workshops conducted over the last 2 years and
discovered three important factors missing from these sources that are essential
for positive outcomes using a CBC. This presentation reveals those Three Caputi
Factors lacking from other sources of information on the CBC and discusses ways
to incorporate them for successful implementation of your new CBC.
Many states are requiring that nursing programs obtain or maintain their
nursing accreditation status. In this session, you’ll learn about the changes in
accreditation policies and get an update about NLN’s CNEA option for accrediting
all types of nursing programs. Specific tips and strategies will be discussed that
will ensure successful accreditation. Bring your program’s questions and get
answers from an expert!
