Student success is a critical priority in higher education, especially within nursing and health sciences programs where academic rigor and clinical demands can present significant challenges. This dynamic session explores research-backed strategies that support retention, academic achievement, and student well-being. Drawing on current evidence from educational theory, learning science, and student development research, participants will examine practical interventions—ranging from inclusive teaching and trauma-informed pedagogy to data-informed advising and mentorship models. Through real-world case studies and interactive discussion, attendees will gain tools to identify at-risk students early, foster a sense of belonging, and implement scalable practices that elevate engagement and performance. This session is ideal for faculty, academic leaders, and student support professionals seeking to create more equitable, responsive, and high-impact learning environments that meet today’s diverse student needs.
This seminar equips nurse educators with strategies to instill professionalism and etiquette in nursing students early in their academic journey. Emphasizing the importance of professional behaviors, communication, and ethical conduct, this session provides tools to model, teach, and evaluate professionalism in both classroom and clinical settings. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and role-play activities, participants will learn evidence-based methods to foster respect, accountability, and integrity in future nurses, ensuring students are career-ready and aligned with professional nursing standards.
Terms such as transformation, reformation, and revolution are buzzwords used to refer to needed changes in nursing curriculum. These terms are actually marketing language used to grab attention followed by is a description of products for faculty to integrate into an already bloated curriculum, costing students hundreds to thousands of additional dollars. These products promise amazing NCLEX results but are often based only on evidence from the seller’s own research. Teaching nursing must be simplified and intentional. This webinar provides basic teaching/learning strategies that will not cost your students thousands of dollars but will improve graduation rates and NCLEX pass rates. It’s time to talk teaching, testing, and remediation without all the buzz.
This session delves into how case studies and item writing serve as essential tools in developing clinical judgment in newly graduated nurses (NGNs). Attendees will explore the value of case-based learning in bridging the gap between theory and real-world clinical decision-making. The presentation will unpack the key elements of creating practical, evidence-based case studies and offer a step-by-step framework for designing dynamic, unfolding scenarios. Special attention will be given to crafting NGN-style questions aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy to foster deeper levels of critical thinking. Practical strategies will empower educators to implement these methods, ultimately enhancing the readiness of NGNs to navigate complex patient care situations with confidence and competence.
This seminar empowers nurse educators with evidence-based strategies to elevate nursing student outcomes and foster professional readiness. Participants will explore innovative pedagogical approaches such as competency-based learning, peer mentoring, career guidance integration, and reflective practice. Educators will learn to cultivate resilient, well-prepared nursing graduates equipped to thrive in clinical environments and launch successful careers.
