Faculty integrated the 6 core competencies from the National HIV Curriculum (NHC) in their NP program. A total of 375 student NHC training sessions were implemented with significant increases in knowledge from pre- to posttest for each of the 6 competencies. The project supports using a standardized HIV curriculum. Authors describe the transition of their physical examination skills lab from face-to-face to online. Performance of advanced assessment skills was comparable between the modalities. Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) was implemented to facilitate students' transition to clinical practice. The study highlights the need to ensure the fidelity of the simulations to achieve authentic experiences, provide deliberate practice to develop self-efficacy, and use cognitive tools for mental model formation to create a high-quality SBML program. ​

An augmented reality tee shirt is an effective method to engage students and enhance their skills in a health assessment nursing course. The students can visualize the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and urinary systems to assist with landmark identification while using their electronic devices. The tee shirt can be worn by the students, put on a manikin, or placed on a desk. Students download the free app and scan the shirt and can choose one of the various body systems to view in 3D.

A standardized survey to describe the quality of care received from prelicensure nursing students during simulation can measure simulation program effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to compare national Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey data with data received from standardized patients (SPs) using a modified HCAHPS survey. SPs completed a modified HCAHPS survey immediately following each in-person simulated encounter. When the level of stringency was adjusted, the SP responses aligned to the national proportions. Findings suggest HCAHPS data can be used to model correlates of the quality of care SPs receive during simulation events. Learn more from this video and article.

An innovative remote learning intervention, PICO Pal, was implemented with groups of undergraduate nursing students in a nursing research course to promote interactive learning, collaboration, and information literacy. PICO Pal used Apple Numbers to facilitate remote group work on a PICOT poster. The evaluation showed positive perceptions of the assignment and gains with knowledge of EBP. However, there were no gains in the perceptions of group work. Learn about this project in the video and article.​

 Many nurse educators hired from the clinical workplace have minimal background and experience teaching  in a concept-based curriculum. Experienced educators can help novice educators bridge this gap between practice and academia by assisting them to understand the underpinnings of teaching conceptually. One way to do so is through the use of concepts. The acronym ABCDE represents the steps involved in mentoring novice nurse educators in concept-based teaching and learning.

 Name mispronunciation has been identified as a microaggression that can interfere with an inclusive learning environment and a sense of belonging. The authors developed a TEDx talk of a story about personal naming, followed by a discussion on appropriate and inappropriate responses to name mispronunciation. The training and TEDx increased faculty understanding that name mispronunciation may be considered a microaggression and their awareness of the importance correct name pronunciation. You will learn about this training in the video and article.
