This integrative review confirmed the paucity of research of qualitative and quantitative outcomes of simulation-enhanced orientation on GNs. Stakeholders of organizational and educational institutions may find this review valuable, as it highlights the necessity for additional research.

We describe how a global intradisciplinary partnership assessed changing health care needs in a recently expanded hospital in the Bolivian Amazon Basin. The collaboration resulted in designing and implementing an evidence-based triage training program to improve rapid assessment and health outcomes. The interdisciplinary triage training of 19 nurses and physicians showed a significant improvement in their knowledge and implementation capacity, as demonstrated by pre- and posttest scores. As an intradisciplinary team, trainees significantly increased consistency in triage assignments in nine of 10 clinical triage posttraining vignettes. We share insights to overcome unseen challenges and improve future data-driven, evidence-based global implementation projects.

In addition, this article highlighted the value on the evaluation and outcomes of the educational program pertaining to positive changes in the workplace. In its initial phase, the health system conducted a needs assessment that provided vital information to enhance nursing management development skills through the initiation of a leadership training academy for nurse leaders. The vital information obtained in the needs assessment was used as a framework in working on topical outline and content objectives developed as a joint initiative between the university-based school of nursing and health professions and the health system that shared a similar mission, vision, and goals. Thus, “Brilliant at the Basics” nursing leadership academy was formed. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3)136-141.].

COVID-19 has highlighted the need for universal palliative care access. Nurses require palliative care education throughout the trajectory of professional training to effectively achieve this vision.

Review of the National Consensus Project Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care and use of educational exemplars highlight opportunities for improving palliative nursing education in academic and clinical settings.

Consistently applying palliative care principles affects nursing outcomes across myriad domains of person-centered services. All nurses are responsible for delivering primary palliative care, but they cannot practice what they do not know. The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium Project offers evidence-based education for nursing students and practicing nurses nationally and globally.

Equipping both nurses and nursing students with palliative care education is critical to improve the overall quality of health care throughout the continuum during COVID-19 and in the face of future health crises. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3)130-135.].

The objective of this article is to inform DNP faculty and students on the value of journal clubs in doctoral nursing education. This article includes a reflection on a DNP student’s experience implementing a journal club as an exemplar. The approaches used involved a literature review on the benefits of a journal club for nurses and a reflection on the experience of implementing a journal club. The journal club experience met the guidelines for two American Association of Colleges of Nursing DNP essential skills. A journal club is an effective way to meet DNP essential skills in nursing students and is possible to implement in an online format, which is an attractive clinical option during COVID-19.

Many people view escape rooms as challenging and fun. They require teams to communicate and work together effectively to solve puzzles to unlock the door to escape. Health care educators have recently used this dynamic format to provide teams with an engaging teaching modality. This article details the case study of combining an escape room with simulation-based education to form a dynamic teaching modality on proper cardiac arrest management.

A group of nearly 70 nurses participated. This study uses a pretest-posttest to measure learning, a skills checklist to measure performance, and an evaluation to measure students’ reactions.

Results showed statistically significant increases in nurses’ code policy knowledge and response. Participants viewed this education as effective and fun.

This study provided evidence of the teaching effectiveness of escape rooms and is a solid springboard for future researchers to conduct additional simulation-based escape rooms with larger, broader populations. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3)118-122.].

Nursing professional development practitioners redesigned onboarding structures and curriculum to accommodate the surge of new hires, taking into consideration restrictions set forth by regulatory institutions. Mobile technology and virtual learning were the platform used for this innovative approach. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3)115-117.].
