Faculty Innovations: Educational Interventions

GW Nursing, as a leader in online education, is making these educational innovations available to nursing educators. These online innovations were developed in response to the COVID crisis to replace what had been delivered face-to face.

The psychiatric-mental health virtual clinical experience and the debriefing for meaningful learning (DML) in end-of-life care are geared toward B.S.N. students, while got alignment helps those educating graduate students. The faculty authors of these exercises will record podcasts for the journal Nurse Educator. Once available, GW Nursing will make the podcasts available to supplement these materials.
