"Six Nursing faculty and one graduate student participated in a CIT Fellows Program to develop methods evaluate the quality of the School's online courses. The group created an evaluation rubric, applied it to their courses, and conducted student focus groups to provide feedback about online course quality. "

Standardized rubric for online classes produced by faculty at the Duke School of Nursing

Various factors, including the fact that in fast-paced, acute care settings, students have little time to reflect on a client's situation and provide appropriate and thoughtful nursing interventions, led our faculty to develop real-life, real-time scenarios for a simulated clinical setting. Senior students studying Complex Illness and Disease Management are assigned to 15 weeks of eight-hour clinicals in an acute care setting. Now, three sessions with a high-fidelity simulation (HFS) manikin are spaced throughout the semester. The eight-hour authentic clinical scenario mimics the entire hospitalization experience, from admission to discharge of a client. The scenario is designed to enhance students' critical thinking skills and promote confidence and comfort in the clinical arena. While skills lab use of HFS focuses primarily on learning skills and tasks, the simulation clinical focuses on solving problems, teamwork, understanding complex disease processes, decision making, and critical thinking. A focus on tasks and skills is one component of the scenario, but only in relation to caring for the client.

Details nurse educators experience creating high fidelity simulation experiences for a nursing students. Headings include: Project development, simulation clinical experience, and outcomes.

This toolkit contains resources related to computer and information literacy

This is a fantastic resource that directly relates to the mission of http://www.inet-nurse.org. I feel confident in following the lead of the NLN in preparing technology savvy nurses and nurse educators. One idea was to establish a 'computer drivers license' - check on the site: http://www.icdlus.org/ Looking forward to implementing something like this.

"The Online Teaching Guide was developed by faculty members from the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) under the guidance of the Duke Center for Instructional Technology (CIT). The work of this group culminated in this resource for faculty members who want to enhance their ability to plan effective online learning experiences for students. This guide serves as a user-friendly and practical tool to assist faculty in planning and implementing online courses."

I like this site because it explains all the avenues that a nursing degree can take you.
