Educating nurses : a call for radical transformation

01 Jan 2010-
TL;DR: The Carnegie National Nursing Education Study as mentioned in this paper found that teaching and learning in the classroom and skills lab is more effective than teaching for a sense of saliency in the clinical domain, and that teaching for moral imagination is more appropriate for the role of moral imagination.

TL;DR: Students were less satisfied with the flipped classroom method than with either of the other methods, suggesting that blending new teaching technologies with interactive classroom activities can result in improved learning but not necessarily improved student satisfaction.
Abstract: This study aimed to determine the effects of a flipped classroom (i.e., reversal of time allotment for lecture and homework) and innovative learning activities on academic success and the satisfaction of nursing students. A quasi-experimental design was used to compare three approaches to learning: traditional lecture only (LO), lecture and lecture capture back-up (LLC), and the flipped classroom approach of lecture capture with innovative classroom activities (LCI). Examination scores were higher for the flipped classroom LCI group (M = 81.89, SD = 5.02) than for both the LLC group (M = 80.70, SD = 4.25), p = 0.003, and the LO group (M = 79.79, SD = 4.51), p < 0.001. Students were less satisfied with the flipped classroom method than with either of the other methods (p < 0.001). Blending new teaching technologies with interactive classroom activities can result in improved learning but not necessarily improved student satisfaction.

TL;DR: Examining how the flipped classroom has been applied in nursing education and outcomes associated with this style of teaching yielded neutral or positive academic outcomes and mixed results for satisfaction.

TL;DR: This study provides persuasive evidence that both new graduate nurses and their organizations benefit from the implementation of a structured, clinical immersion RN residency.
Abstract: Developing competent and confident new graduate nurses who remain with their hospitals is a major challenge. A structured evidence-based RN residency was developed and implemented in hospitals across the United States. Outcomes data were collected from over 6000 new graduate nurses who completed the RN residency over a 10-year period. The results indicate an accelerated increase in competence and self-confidence and a significant decrease in turnover intent and actual turnover. This study provides persuasive evidence that both new graduate nurses and their organizations benefit from the implementation of a structured, clinical immersion RN residency.

TL;DR: This study examines the relationship between covering content and thinking by explicating the common experiences of teachers enacting interpretive pedagogies and presents "Covering Content" and Teaching Thinking: Deconstructing the Additive Curriculum.
Abstract: For more than 25 years, reliance on conventional pedagogy has led nurse educators to persistently focus on what students need to learn to enter contemporary practice settings. Therefore, as biomedical and nursing knowledge grows and the health care system in which students will practice becomes increasingly complex, content is persistently added to nursing curricula, while little is taken out. An underlying assumption of this approach is that if important content is "covered," thinking necessarily follows. This study, using Heideggerian hermeneutics, examines the relationship between covering content and thinking by explicating the common experiences of teachers enacting interpretive pedagogies. One of the themes that emerged from this analysis is presented: "Covering Content" and Teaching Thinking: Deconstructing the Additive Curriculum.
