    An Interprofessional Ambulatory Care Simulation for Health Professions Students

    Interprofessional education (IPE) is important for health professions students, but advanced practice nursing students often lack opportunities to practice interprofessional care in ambulatory scenarios. A team of health professions educators designed an interprofessional simulation focused on the ambulatory care setting and implemented it with health science students at a large midwestern university. Family and psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner students, along with students from undergraduate nursing, medicine, pharmacy, audiology, dental hygiene, social work, and physical therapy, participated in the virtual interprofessional simulation. In this podcast, Dr. Lisa Rohrig describes the simulation, its development, and the outcomes. The authors provide more detail in their article.

    Engaging Online Nursing Students Through Video Announcements

    Are you using video announcements in your online courses? If not, listen to this podcast with Dr. Darci McCall and read her article. Video announcements are an effective way to enhance connection and improve the learner’s experience in an online course. Unlike text-based communication, these humanize the instructor, bringing presence and authenticity to the virtual classroom. Incorporating video announcements into a course is a simple but valuable addition. By strengthening instructor presence and communication, this strategy transforms online learning, creating a supportive and engaging environment that enhances student satisfaction and success.

    Learning Activity Using Photography

    In this podcast and article, Dr. Megan Jester describes an innovative learning activity in which  students share photographs (taken as part of class) that represent the mental health continuum. The activity begins with a faculty-led lecture introducing the mental health continuum. In groups, students walk around campus, taking photos of objects that reflect the continuum. Groups then create and share a PowerPoint slide featuring their selected object and write a social media statement. Dr. Jester explains how this activity can be adapted for other courses including those offered online.

    Building a Consortium to Address Graduate Nursing Student Academic Preparedness

    The transition from clinical practice to graduate studies can be daunting to some practicing nurses. It is well documented that graduate nursing students lack academic preparation for rigorous scholarly work. Drs. Kimberly Douglas and Edmund Pajarillo describe a national onboarding consortium of graduate nursing faculty that uses a model onboarding program to address graduate students’ academic preparedness. The program is easily adopted to support students from various backgrounds and regions within the United States. The onboarding program was evaluated initially in a pilot study, which became the foundation for the national program to be customizable. You can learn more about the program and national consortium in their article.
