Using Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice to Address CBE

This webinar will apply the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice (HSSOBP) paired with a simulation process that addresses several AACN competencies within one scenario for numerous learners.

A variety of well-developed scenarios can have opportunities for learners to demonstrate competence in domains 1-5. This webinar will provide direct applications to one publicly available scenario as an exemplar. Strategies used in this webinar will be based on active engagement, including a flipped classroom design.

PN/VN Faculty Development

The PN/VN Faculty Development Certificate Program provides experiential learning opportunities for nurse educators who desire to improve their knowledge and skills as faculty in PN/VN nursing programs.

Attendees will learn strategies for enhancing learner engagement and feedback through personalized assessments and AI-based evaluations. The webinar will also cover practical implementation strategies, including integrating ChatGPT into existing curricula, training faculty and students, and collaborating with AI developers.

Philanthropy and Nursing Leadership

This three-part webinar will cover a broad array of topics: the long history connecting nursing and philanthropy; the overlap in the values of nursing and philanthropy; what it means to "build a culture of giving;" stages of fundraising; kinds of giving; and why nurses need to be involved in philanthropy. If you want your organization to increase its share of philanthropic dollars, what do you have to do in the next year, the next three years--culture building, infrastructure development, stewardship, or all of the above? At the end of this series, attendees are expected to put together an individual development plan that articulates their goals, required actions, any needed resources, and measures of success.

Do You Know Your Pedagogical Why? Embracing Learning Science in Clinical and Classroom Teaching

Nurse educators are responsible not only for teaching clinical competencies but also for shaping critical thinking,professionalism, and lifelong learning. Yet, many educators have never paused to deeply consider the educational theories that inform their choices in the classroom or clinical setting. This one-hour interactive webinar explores the question: "Do you know your pedagogical why?"

Grounded in the science of learning, this session will guide participants through the foundational learning theories—behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism—and demonstrate how each can influence teaching strategies. Educators will reflect on their own teaching practices and begin to articulate a personal pedagogical philosophy that enhances student engagement and learning outcomes.

Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Education: A Comprehensive Guide for Faculty

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming healthcare, and nursing education plays a central role in preparing future clinicians for this changing landscape. This practical, evidence informed course supports faculty at every level—LPN through doctoral programs—whether you are new to AI or already experimenting with digital tools.

Through a blend of foundational knowledge and hands on practice, the course demystifies how AI works, explores its implications for nursing education, and demonstrates how to integrate AI into teaching, assessment, and academic operations. The course also addresses responsible use, policy considerations, and strategies for preserving professional judgment and human oversight. 

By the end, you’ll understand where AI can add value, how to implement it ethically, and how to prepare your students for the realities of AI integrated clinical practice.

Systematic Reviews and Other Knowledge Syntheses: Which Review To Do?

Since the National League for Nursing began setting nursing education research priorities nearly 25 years ago, nurse educators have worked diligently to generate knowledge for evidence-based nursing education, leading to substantial expansion of the body of nursing education literature. With this expansion comes the need for systematic reviews and other forms of knowledge syntheses that make evidence accessible and translatable into nursing education practice. The purpose of this webinar is to describe and compare systematic reviews and other types of knowledge synthesis and to explore the rationale for conducting one type of review versus another.
