High-quality video productions integrating 360° simulations of real-life nursing scenarios have shown promise in enriching learning experiences and refining studentsâ competencies, attitudes, and knowledge. Dr. PatrĂcia Freire de Vasconcelos describes the development of a 360° video simulation scenario for teaching medication safety in nursing. The methodological framework comprised 3 key stages: (1) crafting the script; (2) evaluating the scriptâs validity by expert judges in medication administration; and (3) developing the set, filming scenes, and refining the video using a 360° camera. The 360° video was tailored for utilization with virtual reality glasses, rendering it accessible for integration into nursing education curricula. The final version consisted of a continuous scene that ended with a question that prompted the identification of errors.

Adjunct clinical faculty play a vital role in ensuring an adequate number of instructors for nursing students. Dr. Bryce Catarelli and Professor Karen Schofield describe a clinical bingo game they developed for first-semester nursing students and clinical faculty to serve as a guide for the hospital experience. Each space on the bingo card is a skill practiced in laboratory/simulation or an action that is appropriate for students' ability and level of education. Each skill is signed off on completion, creating a log of skills/actions performed by the student. Their article provides additional details about their bingo game.

In this podcast, Dr. Kaitlyn Kolcun and Dr. Kelly Sullivan explain their rationale and process for transforming traditional prebriefing and debriefing experiences for a virtual-reality simulation to an online asynchronous format. Learn more about how they developed and implemented asynchronous prebriefing and debriefing activities and assessed student learning outcomes. Drs. Kolcun and Sullivan also describe the interesting subjective feedback students provided about the asynchronous virtual simulation experience.

Nursing studentsâ perceived usability toward a technology application affects their learning experience. Few studies have investigated immersive virtual reality (IVR) simulation for learning fundamental nursing skills. Dr. Wong and her research team explored the usability of IVR simulations with first-year nursing students and their perspectives on this learning modality. In this podcast and article (which is Open Access), Dr. Wong describes their mixed-methods study using surveys and focus groups. The findings demonstrated studentsâ positive inclinations toward IVR simulation learning. Two areas emerged: using IVR simulation as a complementary modality for learning fundamental nursing skills and barriers affecting studentsâ usability of this technology. By addressing concerns about usability, IVR simulation can be an important complementary modality for skills learning.

Although the numbers of nurses from historically underrepresented ethnic and racial populations are increasing in the workforce, the distribution of nurses in the US is still not representative of the population. In this podcast and article, Dr. Joanne Noone and Ms. Adriana Valenzuela Martinez present their program that improved the underrepresented nursing student population from 11% to 33%.

Dr. Erika Janssen and Dr. Lindsay Morgan explain the Dunning-Kruger effect and how it influences self-assessment of cultural competence in nursing students. Their research revealed that students with no direct care experience in LGBTQ+ communities were more confident in their communication skills and culturally congruent care than those who had been exposed to sexual minorities in clinical settings. In this podcast, learn more about how knowledge of the Dunning-Kruger effect can help nurse educators continuously improve curricula and guide students to develop greater self-awareness of gaps in competency in delivering culturally congruent care.

In this podcast, Dr. Karen Mihelich describes the impetus behind development and implementation of experiential education focused on food insecurity in her local community. She integrated community-engaged service, implicit bias education, teamwork and communication, budget management, and essential DNP competencies into a community-engaged practicum and service project. Listen to her story and learn how her students and community partners responded, and find out how she and her students and colleagues sustained this community project.
Dr. Mihelich provides more details in her article.

Exposure to workplace violence (WPV) is common in health care, and little is known about nurse practitioner (NP) studentsâ experiences during their graduate nursing clinical education. In this podcast, Drs. Kristin Gigli and John Gonzalez describe the findings from their study on WPV experienced by NP students. A total of 334 NPs responded. More than a quarter (27%) of these students experienced WPV during their graduate program: preceptors were the most reported perpetrators (44%). In this podcast, the authors describe relevant federal policies and share strategies that schools of nursing can use to reduce student exposure to WPV.

Faculty in a Family Nurse Practitioner program integrated entrustable professional activities (EPAs) that aligned with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials and National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties Core NP Competencies into their clinical assessment tool. Student performance expectations at different points in the program were outlined. Students documented each time they performed an EPA during clinical experiences. Drs. Angel Anthamatten and Courtney Pitts discuss this initiative and outcomes in the podcast.

The integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT into nursing education marks a transformative advance in personalized learning and interactive engagement. Variability in facultyâs experience with AI outputs highlights the need for well-crafted prompts that align with educational objectives, maximize learning outcomes, and ensure contextual relevance. Effective prompting is a key to eliciting accurate, relevant responses from AI, fostering a dynamic learning environment that bolsters student comprehension of complex topics. Learn more about prompt engineering in this podcast with an expert, Dr. Grace Sun. She explains this further with many other examples in her article.

Nursing students should learn how to communicate effectively in their written assignments. Good writing skills are an indication of how the student processes information. Poor writing skills may impact patient care. This podcast with Miriam Bowers-Abbott discusses ways nurse educators can improve interrater reliability in the evaluation of studentsâ written work. Learn more about using Minimum Standards in her article.

Metacognitive exam review tools, also called exam wrappers, are a promising intervention to address the problem of poor exam performance. Tools of this kind have been shown to positively impact student learning, confidence, and exam performance across multiple disciplines and levels of education, but little is known about the use of exam wrappers in nursing education. In this podcast, Jessica Gay presents the results of a research study about the efficacy of exam wrappers as a student success strategy. Be sure to read their article too.
