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!​

The Art Gallery Grand Rounds improved students’ knowledge of holism and noticing/clinical nursing judgment. Learn more by watching the video and reading the article​.

To ensure future RNs can function in the primary care setting and assume enhanced roles within the interprofessional team, prelicensure nursing students need to be exposed to primary care. A key barrier to providing this essential education is the lack of partnerships with primary care facilities. Collaboration between academic-practice partners to develop a clinical experience for prelicensure nursing students allowed exposure to the role of RNs in rural primary care.
