Tuesday, April 8 Sessions

Morning Session – Dr. Sal TagliareniAny organization is basically comprised of a group of strangers coming together, and without common dynamic purpose, the road to significant meaningful change is at least problematic. Change in an organization is not about identifying the villains and obstructionists. Rather it is about developing something compelling that makes colleagues see more than merely their individual goals and objectives. Without a compelling vision that creates energy and inspiration, dynamic change is doomed. Leadership is the route to achieving the goals and objectives that move the organization to achievement and success.

Afternoon Session – Mark A. Vogt, Audria Denker, MSN, RN, CPON & Margie Dimond, MAProfessional development can be an over-used term, often promoted by companies only to avoid the recognition of its absence. And left to busy employees, even at the management level, seeking out and identifying viable opportunities for professional growth is often not given priority. So how does a company that believes beyond a shadow of a doubt in the development of its employees to ensure the success of the whole, inspire its employees to invest precious time in personal and professional development? Mark Vogt, President Galen College of Nursing, believes it is by providing easily accessible opportunities to continue to build leadership throughout the organization, within the organization. Thus was born the Galen Leadership Academy.Learn about the journey from concept to reality and the passion to successfully drive change throughout an organization.

W-1 v Evaluating Student Learning Outcomes “I taught it, but did they learn it?” Evaluating student learning outcomes is critical to ensuring a quality program. All accreditation agencies require measurement of student achievement of the stated learning outcomes. This session provides ideas related to measuring student achievement of learning outcomes as well as using those measures as a basis for continuous quality improvement in your nursing program.

W-2 v Using Electronic Portfolios for Accreditation AssessmentWhether you are a nurse educator interested in assessing your nursing program and student and faculty outcomes, a nurse educator or staff nurse looking to demonstrate your accomplishments to advance in rank or position, or a nurse executive facing a site visit for Magnet status, electronic portfolios will provide you with the perfect showcase! This presentation provides a demonstration of all of these applications, and includes tips for selecting and using software to provide a one-stop-shop for assessment.

W-3 v Preventing and Managing Dishonesty and IncivilityThis dynamic workshop tackles one of the biggest challenges facing nursing faculty—academic dishonesty and incivility.

Faculty incivility, including intimidating, threatening, and rude behaviors toward students and other faculty will also be addressed.

W-4 v Escaping Violent Encounters: Defensive Tactics for NursesNurses find themselves in violent encounters at an ever-increasing rate.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

WEDNESDAY v 12:45 pm

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

W-6 v Teaching for NCLEX® Success: Just What Does that Mean and How Do You Do It? The NCLEX® pass rate is a measure used by many groups as an indicator of program quality. As evidenced by the changes in the 2013 NCLEX-RN® exam, the passing standard keeps increasing. A school’s pass rate has been, and continues to be, somewhat of an Achilles tendon. What can faculty do to ensure the NCLEX® pass rates of their graduates remain high? This session addresses answers to that question.

W-7 v Bring Your “A” Game: Virtually! This presentation describes the use of a virtual simulation and serious gaming, demonstrating a multi-faceted approach to using virtual pedagogy to support learning and providing clinical experiences. Virtual programs will be highlighted to show how virtual learning experiences support critical thinking and decision-making. Practical examples are included as well as how virtual clinical activities and serious gaming meet accreditation requirements for clinical practice.

W-8 v Teaching Dosage Calculation: Tips for Learning Math Concepts This session will explore user-friendly methods for teaching or reviewing basic math skills such as fractions, decimals, percentages, and formulas. Best practices for teaching the three methods of medication calculation will be demonstrated.

W-9 v Examinations: Learning Opportunity or Just a Grade?The session will highlight strategies to make the examination process more than “just a grade.” Memory dumping is not a new strategy in the active learning classroom, but can be integrated for review before an examination. Collaborative testing has recently been highlighted in education research and literature for strong evidence of promoting student retention and understanding of content. The presenter will also share ideas such as alternate styles of testing and test review strategies.

W-10 v Educational Games – Playing to LearnThere are many possible adjuncts and/or alternatives to lecture that promote active learning, including educational gaming. This session will discuss the pros and cons of educational gaming, highlight research on active learning, and will showcase several existing games that can easily be used in the classroom, laboratory, or clinical setting. Attendees are strongly encouraged to participate and have fun!

WEDNESDAY v 2:30 pm

CONCURRENT SESSIONS

T-1 v Preparing Students for Professional Practice Using Clinical ReasoningTaking clinically derived scenarios and using concepts from Benner’s “Educating Nurses-A Call for Radical Transformation,” this session has a combination of critical thinking exercises and unfolding case studies. Emphasizing application of content through clinical reasoning, the attendee will be able to prepare students not only for the NCLEX® exam but more importantly, the realities of clinical practice.

T-2 v Shine Your Shoes: Are YOU Ready for Inspection?This presentation will explore methods for planning and writing a self-study, preparing for the site visit, and conducting a stellar review, whether by a regulatory or accrediting agency. Practical tools, such as timelines, templates for document preparation, and e-portfolio software to host your exhibits will be showcased.

T-3 v Caution Ahead: Multi-Generations in NursingThis session will discuss the generational differences that exist, help the participants to recognize the uniqueness of each generation, and highlight ways to best teach students of each generation.

T-4 v Facilitating Learning in the Concept-Based ClassroomThis workshop will assist faculty who are teaching or planning to implement a concept-based curriculum. Participants will identify active learning techniques for students in the classroom, as well as creating active learning techniques for students with a focus on concept-based curriculum.
