Virtual reality simulation (VRS) is an emerging pedagogy in nursing education. This qualitative study examined nursing students' learning experiences when engaged in VRS and explored their problem-solving/clinical reasoning approach after participation in a VRS clinical scenario. Learn more about this exciting study using VRS. Watch the video and read the article.

Pharmacology courses require a blend of memorization and application of content. As educators prepare students to take the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN), consideration should be given to learning activities that support the integration of knowledge and practice and prepare prelicensure students to begin applying clinical judgment when presented with new information. In this video the author describes use of a Highlight Table item for teaching pharmacology, illustrates it use, and explains how she implements it in class. Be sure to also read the teaching tip article.

To provide consistent education across multiple lab groups and foster student engagement, the author structures health assessment labs using a Review-Do-Document format. This structure corresponds with competency-based education efforts to align learning with competency demonstration. Learn more about this strategy in this video and teaching tip.

There is limited information on the development of academic policies in nursing programs. Despite nurse educators’ unequivocal and frequent use of policies in their day-to-day interactions to manage students and courses, there are no dedicated resources available in the literature to assist nursing faculty with the development of this skill set. The authors in this video and article provide guidance to nursing faculty on writing equitable academic policies for schools of nursing.

Because patient care depends on nurses' ability to effectively communicate, nursing students need opportunities to develop written and oral communication skills through low-stakes activities. However, content-intensive classes and clinical schedules are obstacles to explicit writing support. Online asynchronous peer review can be an effective solution. Students participated in an online asynchronous peer review intervention. Students reported their perceptions of the peer review and subsequent revisions. Watch the video and read this article to learn how you can implement online asynchronous peer review in your courses.
