Teaching nursing students how to conduct a human-centered design project fosters their creative self-efficacy and cultivates design thinking. In this podcast, Dr. Jeana Holt describes how she implemented experiential learning based on a human-centered design approach to solving patient care problems. More details about her project and future directions for work in human-centered design are explained in her article.

A tabletop simulation, called Triage Tabletop, was developed by Dr. Laura Liggett and Brandi Snow to offer acute care nurse practitioner (NP) students an opportunity to experience clinical decision-making when triaging patients in the hospital setting. They join us in this podcast to explain this teaching strategy. During an on-campus clinical immersion, students were divided into groups of 4 to 5 each to act as rounding hospitalist NPs with a census of 8 patients. The students worked together to determine the order in which they would visit their patients based on acuity while keeping other responsibilities in mind, such as attending scheduled interdisciplinary rounds. The students also received unexpected pages about changes in patients' conditions. Interested in developing this triage tabletop simulation? Read more about this sim in their teaching tip.

Nurses play a critical role in reducing health inequities in people experiencing homelessness (PEH), a key social determinant of health. The authors developed and validated competencies; associated knowledge, skills, and attitudes; and concepts, content, and learning activities to serve as an educational framework in providing care for PEH. Learn more about these competencies in this podcast with Rachel Richmond, Joanne Noone, Heather Voss, Aina Hale, and Marilyn Gran-Moravec. Be sure to read their article and visit their website with learning activities and resources you can use in your courses.

Interprofessional team training (IPTT) prepares students from health care professions for team-based care. In this podcast with Dr. Allison Shorten, you will learn why IPTT is important. In their study with 866 students from 11 professions, they compared in-person and online delivery of IPTT: both groups improved, but the in-person delivery resulted in the greatest improvement. However, as Dr. Shorten explains, advantages from in-person delivery should be weighed against online logistical advantages. You can find more detail about the study in their article.

With the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), nurse educators are harnessing its impact in education. The most recent trend of AI usage has been with lecture slides. In this podcast, Dr. DeAnna Gapp explains how she uses AI to facilitate her work as a faculty member and presents strategies for using AI in preparing lectures. More examples are provided in Dr. Gapp's teaching tip.

In this podcast, Dr. Chelsea Mellett explains the relationships among professional identity, hope, and job satisfaction. Improving nurses' professional identity can lead to higher job satisfaction and ultimately reduce nurse turnover. Learn about their study on the intersections between career motivation, professional identity formation, and belongingness in prelicensure nursing students and strategies you can use to improve students' professional identity formation.

Allowing students to select from a variety of assessment strategies gives them an opportunity to create their own learning environment and choose their preferred pathway to academic success. Listen to this podcast to learn how Lisa Brennan used the VARK (visual, auditory, reading/writing/kinesthetic) framework to foster a sense agency to students in the assessment process. Read her article describing how you can use a similar strategy approach to assessment, or view her video if you prefer to engage with content visually.

Nurse Educator is celebrating its 50th year of publishing articles addressing faculty and students' teaching and learning needs. This podcast presents the increasing need for males to select nursing as a profession from the personal perspective of Dr. Harrell Jordan, Dean, School of Nursing, Chamberlain University. Dr. Jordan discusses his experiences as a male in nursing and the continued need to recruit more males, including males of color, into the profession.

Nursing students are at risk for developing secondary traumatic stress (STS) while completing their clinical training. Kristen Oakley synthesized the research on the prevalence, severity, and experience of STS and its associated factors in prelicensure nursing students. Findings from their review of 25 studies revealed a range of STS symptom severity levels and associated factors; however, measurement is hampered by researchers' use of other concepts, like compassion fatigue.

Dr. Curry Bordelon describes the integration of AI into a graduate nursing informatics course. Students used AI in each of the modules of the course.
