Samaritan Medical Center’s Post

Having designed and delivered multiple simulation events in my career as an educator of nurse practitioners, I’ve long been beating the drum that we don’t fully deploy this modality to its fullest extent in APRN education. I’m deeply gratified to see this tide turning! I’m especially fond of OSCE-type evaluations (both formative and summative). There is immense educational value in a well-designed and thoughtfully implemented encounter with an expert Standardized Patient. The biggest gap I’ve seen in these events is properly preparing students before, during, and after the event. Simulations are inherently stressful, and can be very anxiety-provoking. Intentionality on the part of faculty to make the simulation as positive as possible is a key to success, alongside quality scenario design and a high degree of organization. 

If you're considering returning to school for a Nurse Practitioner degree, you may be wondering which specialty track to pursue.

Here's a breakdown of some of the most common Nurse Practitioner specialties so you can understand how they differ. https://lnkd.in/eTQmUCth

Campbell DNP, RN, PHNA-BC, FAAN, Patricia J. Kelly PhD, MPH, RN, Shawn Kneipp M. Kneipp PhD, RN, ANP, PHNA-BC Abstract: One way in which professional nursing organizations have chosen to address the social determinants of health (SDoH) is through policy work focused on diversity, health equity and anti-racism activities. The recent report, Future of Nursing 2020–2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity (FON 2020–2030), calls on professional nursing organizations and/or nursing coalitions to focus on addressing the SDoH to mitigate health inequities, including a focus on addressing racism and promoting practices to ensure the diversity of the nursing workforce. While these recommendations highlight issues of high importance to nursing and the broader society, they assume that professional nursing organizations or coalitions have not been sufficiently engaged in this work to date. Our goal was to better understand the current and/or ongoing activities of professional nursing organizations around their anti-racism work of diversity, health equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities recommended in the FON 2020–2030 report. To address this goal, we conducted a needs assessment of professional nursing organizations to document their DEI activities and the timing of these activities relevant to the recommendations in the report. The 26 responding organizations indicated they had been engaged in work addressing DEI issues for periods ranging from 4 months to 51 years. Minimal funding was the major barrier to advancing this work. Creating a vigorous shared DEI agenda across the profession, as suggested in the FON 2020–2030 report, will require input from nurses across the profession, as well as identification of resources to support this critical endeavor. Open Research 😊 We want to thank the organizations that spent months sorting out what it meant to create a shared agenda.
