Implementing Successful Clinical Nursing Preceptorships

Video Author: Chicca, Jennifer MS, RN; Shellenbarger, Teresa PhD, RN, CNE, CNEcl, ANEF
Published on: 05.18.2020

In preceptorships, experienced staff nurses (preceptors) help students learn in clinical settings. This educational approach promotes one-to-one instruction with staff experts. Current evidence about preceptorships focuses primarily on preceptor roles, preparations, perceptions, and/or challenges when working with nursing students. There is a lack of clarity about specific ways to fulfill educator roles during preceptored experiences. This video and article provide tips for preparing and maintaining clinical nursing preceptorship experiences that help ensure successful student learning.

Nursing Students’ Perceptions of Just Culture in Nursing Programs: A Multisite Study

Creator: Walker, Danielle PhD, RN, CNE; Altmiller, Gerry EdD, APRN, ACNS-BC, FAAN; Hromadik, Lora PhD, RN; Barkell, Nina MSN, RN, ACNS-BC; Barker, Nancy EdD, RN; Boyd, Teri EdD, MNSc, RN; Compton, Michelle MSN, RN; Cook, Pamela MSN, RN; Curia, Marianne PhD, MSN, R

Duration: 4:39

While just culture is embraced in the clinical setting, just culture has not been systematically incorporated into nursing education. Dr. Walker describes their study of prelicensure nursing student perceptions of just culture in academia. The Just Culture Assessment Tool for Nursing Education (JCAT-NE) was used to measure just culture across multiple (N = 15) nursing programs. The majority of JCAT-NE respondents (78%) reported their program has a safety reporting system, 15.4% had involvement in a safety-related event, and 12% submitted an error report. There was a significant total score decline as students progressed from the beginning to the middle and end of the program. The results are a call to action for nursing education to emphasize the tenets of just culture, error reporting, and quality improvement.

Assessing the Impact of Telehealth Objective Structured Clinical Examinations in Graduate Nursing Education

Creator: Phillips, Tiffany A. DNP, RN, NP-C; Munn, Allison C. PhD, RN; George, Tracy P. DNP, RN, APRN-BC, CNE

Duration: 6:44

The authors developed a no-cost telehealth simulation and examined its impact on students in their first nurse practitioner (NP) clinical course. Twenty-eight NP students participated in the telehealth objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). The students' general understanding of telehealth was significantly greater after the OSCE experience. Directed content analysis revealed 3 themes: usefulness of telehealth, benefit in role preparation, and technology. Telehealth simulation can be an effective strategy to assess clinical competency, provide individualized feedback, and ensure students are using evidence-based practice.

Duration: 2:36

Documentation in health care serves to provide an accurate record of the patient’s status and needs at a point in time. We examined if using an educational EMR (EEMR) impacted the quantity of student documentation. One group of students learned with the EEMR and another group with a paper chart. Use of the EEMR improved students’ nursing notes, VS, I & O, and MAR documentation, but the quantity of documentation by students in both cohorts was low. If you are thinking about an EEMR, or using one, be sure to watch the video and read the article.

Students lack experience in making connections between signs and symptoms and the patient’s acuity level. Many students fail to notice when a patient is deteriorating. The Levels of Sickness Teaching Strategy helps students recognize clinical deterioration in a timely manner by understanding the meaning of a wide range of signs and symptoms. This teaching strategy, referred to as the Sick tool, can be used in the classroom, simulation, and clinical settings. Learn about this strategy by watching this video and reading the article.
