In a multisite study, students and experienced nurses participated in 2 simulations of patient deterioration with time goals. Video capture was achieved with an eye tracker. The nurses were more proficient in a timed assessment, but the students showed improvement between the 2 simulations. Time-to-task was found to be a meaningful assessment outcome. If you are teaching DNP students, don’t miss the articles on evaluating students’ scientific writing skills and on assessing organizational readiness for DNP projects. Need a new QSEN framed clinical evaluation tool for nurse practitioner students? A tool is in this issue!​

Faculty deployed robot telepresence into scenarios to enrich the learning experience for students. Faculty developed a simulation to orient students to inpatient clinical procedures, including patient verification, medication administration, and handoff of care, prior to entering clinical practice. A sub-aim was to provide an interactive, immersive environment. Students rotated through the simulation in groups of 6 using Double-2 iPad robots to participate and debrief. You will enjoy the video and also read the teaching tip​.

​In this video and accompanying article​, you will learn about a full-day simulation boot camp developed for students preparing for the nurse educator role. The authors developed a model for increasing educators’ knowledge and confidence in planning, running, debriefing, and evaluating simulation sessions. Educators learned about their role and best practices in simulation.

Nurse practitioner (NP) students need to be prepared for their first clinical experiences. A half-day preclinical immersion was instituted at the beginning of NP students' first clinical course. Data were collected before the immersion, after, and during the last 2 weeks of the first clinical course. Students' ratings of their clinical skills and knowledge improved during the duration of the semester for 5 of the 7 items. The use of preclinical immersion experiences may prepare students both practically and emotionally for their first NP clinical experience​.

Using case studies in a synchronous online class  is an active learning strategy designed to engage students in applying knowledge in patient care. Word clouds provide real-time opportunities to uncover students' clinical reasoning and encourage their participation.  Learn more about this teaching strategy in this video.

In this video and article, Dr. Chunta shares strategies for teaching Generation Z students in online learning environments. She describes ways to foster student engagement, stimulate intellectual development, and build rapport with students, while considering characteristics specific to this generation of nursing students.
