“Faculty will have the opportunity to receive insights and guidance on how to effectively use simulation to help students obtain practical skills in addition to receiving guidance from an expert on writing for publication,” said Deborah Hampton, PhD, MSN, RN, FACHE, NEA-BC, member of the Faculty Development committee.
The Office of Continuing Education aims to help participants examine theory-based strategies as well as research related to transitioning nursing and millennial age students into practice. Participants will learn to develop professional writing skills, analyze the challenges of millennial age students and how to use simulation case studies to teach students the reality of practice expectations.
