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.

Duration: 3:22
There may be times when 2 faculty members share responsibility for the same group of students in a clinical practicum. For example, 1 faculty member may teach the students in simulation for some interval of time, and then another faculty member may teach those same students in the clinical setting. There is potential for missed communication or handoff between these faculty. Learn how to use SBAR between faculty members as the student transitions from one learning setting to the next as part of a clinical practicum. Watch the educators in action in this video and read the full teaching tips.

The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent social distancing guidelines have greatly impacted the quality of life (QoL) of nursing faculty and students. Dr. Keener presents the findings of 2 critical studies done by her team that examined the effects of the pandemic and subsequent changes in nursing education on faculty and students’ QoL. Resilience was the strongest variable to predict QoL for faculty. Resilience, having online experience, and being prepared for online learning were associated with each QoL domain for students. Get a summary of the research in this video. Read the study on faculty now. The study on Students will be in the May/June 2021 issue of Nurse Educator.

Correlating Self-Directed Learning Abilities and Lifelong Learning Orientation in Baccalaureate Nursing Students
Creator: Kaulback, Michelle K. EdD, RN, FNP-BC
Duration: 3:27
This study examined the relationship between baccalaureate nursing students' self-directed learning abilities and lifelong learning orientation. Students (n = 124) completed the Self-Directed Learning Inventory (SDLI) and the Jefferson Scale of Lifelong Learning–Health Professions Students (JeffSLL-HPS). There were significant, positive correlations between SDLI scores and the JeffSLL-HPS. Nursing faculty should implement teaching strategies that foster SDL abilities to increase lifelong learning orientation in nursing students. The author presents the study in this video (be sure to read the article too).

Muddiest Points Assessment to Increase Understanding in a Large-Enrollment Course
Creator: Mackos, Amy; Tornwall, Joni
Duration: 3:23

As more nursing courses are taught online, nurse educators need to adopt creative approaches to online formative assessment strategies. Low-stakes assessments of student comprehension allow teaching approaches to be adjusted quickly in asynchronous virtual environments. A classroom assessment technique commonly known as “themuddiest point” has proven to be useful in gathering feedback from students about concepts they are struggling with and improve comprehension prior to high-stakes examinations. Learn how to use muddiest points assessment in a large online course in this video and teaching tips article.

Adopting Open Educational Resources in a Nursing Informatics Course: An Evaluation of Student Performance and Course Satisfaction
Creator: Riley, Elizabeth DNP, RNC-NIC, CNE; Carmack, Jeffrey K. DNP, RN, CHSE
Duration: 5:45
Open educational resources (OERs) provide many benefits in nursing education, such as continuously updated course content and textbook cost savings. This study explored the effectiveness of OER adoption in an online nursing informatics course in an RN-BSN completion program. The study compared course grades and student course satisfaction between an OER-based (n = 70) and textbook-only (n = 73) course. The results showed that courses designed with OER content can improve student performance and maintain course satisfaction. Enjoy this video. Read the article to learn more about the study and OER.
