Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing education is in the midst of change as it relates to current clinical education approaches. In the United States, numerous nursing boards have restructured their clinical guidelines for licensure to include high-fidelity patient simulation as an acceptable form of clinical education. In response to these educational changes, a thorough review of the literature was performed and revealed a gap related to student outcomes when combining traditional clinical education and high-fidelity patient simulation during clinical courses. The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide a richer understanding of how a student's clinical education impacts his or her educational experiences. Through a phenomenological approach, I examined the lived experiences of 12 nursing students who had completed a medical-surgical clinical course. Data was analyzed utilizing Moustakas' (1994) seven steps of data analysis and revealed six themes to include (a) collaboration/team approach, (b) confidence, (c) influence of the instructor, (d) observation, (e) realism, and (f) reflection. Results of this phenomenological study are timely as states across the nation are considering substantial changes to their clinical education guidelines and policies.

Download or read book The Clinical Rotation Handbook written by Marlene Audrey Reimer and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 1999 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This active learning guide is written for students and designed as a "toolbox" or "handbook" to learning in the clinical rotation. It presents a series of student exercises and journaling experiences within an active and inquiring learning model. Self-directed, collaborative learning built upon each student's diverse strengths, abilities, and experience is the focus of this approach. Through this active learning process, students become ore independent and gain confidence in their ability to think, ask, and reflect about, as well as plan, analyze, and apply their experiences. As an active learning guide, this book has three primary goals: to emphasize the need to integrate theoretical classroom learning with the skills acquired in the clinical setting, to encourage the student to fully participate in the educational process, and to provide a practical guide to the triumphs and pitfalls along the way.(clinical rotation, skills, procedures, nursing fundamentals, practice, med-surg, medical-surgical, analyze, judgement)

Download or read book A Phenomenological Study Exploring the Lived Experience of Students who Have Failed a Nursing Course written by Deborah Kaye Tonelli and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to examine the lived experiences of students after failing a nursing course, resulting in the students either sitting out a semester prior to repeating the course or making the decision not to return to a program at all. The central research question for this study was “what are the lived experiences of students who fail a nursing course?” This study retrospectively examined the failure of nursing students to better understand how they processed the event, gained meaning from the experience, and found supportive measures that were useful in moving forward to the next step in their educational journey. The theories guiding this study were Knowles’ adult learning theory and Bandura’s social learning theory, with a nod to Frankl’s theory of meaning making. Participants consisted of 12-15 adult students accepted to an associate degree nursing program in the southeastern United States who failed a nursing course with a D or F. One-on-one interviews and focus small group sessions were conducted in a private conference room at a joint community college center that serves students from three different higher education institutions. Participants were also asked to write a letter of support or advice for a future student experiencing the phenomenon to gain further insight in how they survived the failure, gained meaning from the experience, and were able to move forward following the academic set-back. Data analysis was conducted using van Manen’s thematic analysis to discover the participants’ lived experience following failing a nursing course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Download or read book Learning from Their Mistakes written by Daniel Alexander Aquino and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New graduate nurses must be prepared to practice competently with adequate clinical judgment in an environment where best practices in healthcare are constantly evolving in an effort to ensure patient safety and positive patient outcomes. The focus on restructuring nursing education to improve nurse competency and preparedness for practice has been a key component. High fidelity simulation (HFS) is a pedagogical tool gaining popularity in nursing education as it has been recognized that HFS would train novice practitioners, build problem solving, and crisis management, which would reduce the incidence of medical errors; thereby, improving patient safety (IOM, 1999). The purpose of this study was to examine how making a mistake in simulation impacts the clinical experiences of nursing students. Using a qualitative approach, the researcher conducted two focus groups of undergraduate Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) students to ask questions about their experiences in simulation and in clinical. Content analysis of focus group responses indicate that students learn from the mistakes they make in simulation and in clinical rotations. Mistakes serve a purpose in the learning process of nursing students. Specifically, mistakes in simulation can prevent mistakes in high stakes clinical situations.
