@sparrce Nursing students should be aware of the necessary need to practice in person & understand & appreciate the benefit provided. Convenience is great but there is an obvious gap between those who trained in-person vs. online, as seen in practice & falling NCLEX pass rates. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

@MonicaLR1105 All too often, end-of-life care is not portrayed adequately in simulation & the lack of education is glaringly apparent when new nurses are not comfortable caring for patients, hesitant to give medications or knowing how to comfort family. This would bridge the gap. #DistEd534

How instructors establish their presence in an online course can have important implications on students overall learning experience. Frequent check-ins & reminders, as well as video conferencing, can provide a means to support students with a visual impact & presence. #DistEd534

Time is of the essence during cardiac arrest code events. Being familiar with code cart contents is crucial during this time & limited exposure poses barriers. Virtual code carts are interactive, simulated software that promotes proficiency & familiarity with contents. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

Simulated EMR charting is another useful tool to equip nursing students with the necessary experience they will need as they transition to practice. These simulated documents are providing a level of support to boost accurate & necessary regulatory documentation. #DistEd534

A chart audit activity was created for second-semester junior #nursing students in their first adult health #clinical course to develop and build a more thorough knowledge of essential elements to be placed in clinical documentation. #nursingeducation

Quality debriefing builds confidence & competence in the nursing profession. Debriefing is similar to online discussion forums as both provide a means to elicit thoughts & opinions from individuals with various backgrounds & experience. #DistEd534

[ClinSiminNursing @ClinSimNursing]

Developing competence in nursing care is a critical expectation of nursing students. Knowledge acquisition, application and retention are the primary building blocks of competence. https://t.co/wmweQbrd8e

YouTube offers great video resources for nursing students to view as educational aids. Audio is often incorporated to add an additional component to the learning process. Videos can depict assessments, including auscultation tools to understand heart & lung sounds. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

@GrizzleKylee Online education, in my opinion, is one of the greatest advancements in higher education. These programs are increasingly well-developed & tailored for the needs of busy adults like me. I largely selected a graduate program based on the online functionality it offered. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

@CheyenneRNedu This type of technology would be so useful in online nursing education. Think of the bigger impact it might have if assessment data such as lung & heart sounds could be incorporated. Having realistic sounds coupled with visual references is an interactive way to learn. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

@CheyenneRNedu What a creative way to discuss disease processes. Thinking about the role of distance education, the use of podcasts is a great way to engage students in their learning. Often times, they spend a lot of time driving to & from clinical - perfect chance to listen to one! #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

During the Covid-19 pandemic, clinical nursing education transitioned online. Fittingly, there has been a lower pass rate on the NCLEX from 2019 to 2020 and beyond. Distance education is beneficial but doesn't always replace necessary training in clinical settings. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

The pedagogical transition from traditional to online learning is a challenge for nursing education. Barriers may be related to teachers' limited experience using digital tools when creating learning activities. Comfort levels must be raised to achieve success. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

Not only has Zoom impacted the way we meet & interact but it's grasp on technology incorporation in schools & professional settings to bring initiatives such as telehealth and hands-on experience is leading the way for distance education. #DistEd534

[Zoom @Zoom]

We're excited to announce a strategic partnership with @ASU to open the Zoom Innovation Lab, a first-of-its-kind initiative designed to identify, develop, and implement forward-thinking solutions for the education industry! 🚀 https://t.co/4PYRwYtPiC

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

The development of knowledge & critical thinking in nursing is largely influenced by pedagogic methods. The use of simulation & virtual reality provides online learners the capability to safely "care" for patients in a safe setting & master skills for the bedside. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

Using game-based learning in distance education promotes active student engagement and participation. Platforms such as Quizlet and Kahoot! can make the online learning environment more exciting, promoting learning in a fun, enjoyable way. #DistEd534

[Journal of Nursing Education @JNEJournal]

Nursing research can be a difficult course for prelicensure #nursing students. One method that can be used to assist with understanding this concept is to use a no-stakes quiz in the form of a game. #nursingeducation

Participants in simulation gain new ideas & strategies to challenge their thinking, while connecting and collaborating with nurse colleagues. Leaders & educators believe simulation will help define the future of nursing education. #DistEd534

Validating competence is emergency situations relies on quality partnerships with companies like Laerdal & RQI. At my facility, these online modules & in-person skills are performed quarterly to reiterate & practice the necessary components of effective resuscitation. #DistEd534

[RQI Partners @RQIPartners]

Did you know verified CPR competence is the new standard of care? RQI 2025 programs address the competency-based requirements for accreditation by
@TJCommission.

Courses include:
✔️RQI BLS
✔️RQI ALS
✔️RQI PALS
✔️RQI for NRP
✔️RQI Responder

@LisaNiescier I think the use of technology, coupled with adequate staffing, are effective ways to cope with burnout & the nursing shortage. One tool I relied on heavily during the height of Covid was disaster charting - bare bones documentation to ensure patient care was the focus. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

@kkaydee87 As an educator, I rely heavily on the LMS at my facility to track my new hires' progress during their orientation training. Dashboards and other managing tools would be beneficial to ensure no colleague gets overlooked and they have the necessary modules. #DistEd534

[Heather Marino @HeatherM728RN]

@sparrce Nursing education can be so task-oriented. It is so important to assess how students are feeling overall. It's also important to consistently provide feedback and recognition so they know they are doing well & stay focused. #DistEd534
