Revolutionizing Nurse Practitioner Training: Boise State's New Simulation ProgramBoise State is doing live (actor) simulation training on differential diagnosis with mental health complications, differential diagnosis communication, and observation-based clinical simulations. The idea is developing real-world experience in acute care presentations. “They have great potential of seeing patients who have unmanaged medications, unmonitored chronic conditions and emergent situations. We’re trying to combat the stereotypes that providers might run into and help students realize that patients present in all sorts of ways.” - Tracee Chapman, Boise State, Director of Simulation-based Education and Research Boise State's NP Training Simulation

Shortage of Nursing Educators Leading to Fewer NursesGood overview article about recruiting, pay gaps, and stop-gap measures in nursing education. We’ll let the quote speak for itself: “The whole reason for the nurse shortage is because of the nurse educator shortage,” she said. “Nurse educator salaries are so much lower than on the clinical side. Nurses with master’s degrees can get a whole lot better pay on the clinical side than they can get as a nurse educator, so I do have trouble recruiting students into the Master of Science in nursing nurse educator program and recruiting faculty to teach in all of the UCA nursing programs. It is a nationwide issue with not enough nursing teachers.” - Susan Gatto, University of Central Arkansas, Director of School of Nursing. |
