INTERACTIVE SESSION III (4:15pm – 5:30pm)

B1. A Model Utilizing Clinical Preceptors for Senior Baccalaureate Nursing Leadership and Management Students: Unique Opportunities
This program will examine clinical preceptor relationships with baccalaureate nursing students in a community hospital setting and consider the many opportunities available to students enrolled in “The Professional Nursing Leadership and Management Lab Course”. This course was designed to apply the concepts, principles, and theories of leadership and management in a variety of healthcare and nursing settings. Presenters will share insights on how this learning experience provides unique opportunities for both students and preceptors. This presentation will identify how course projects impact clinical practice, policies and procedures using an evidence-based practice approach.

B2. Full Integration of High-Fidelity Patient Simulation into a Nursing Curriculum
Since Fall 2006, ten percent of each nursing clinical course offered at Pensacola Junior College is scheduled at the Smart Simulation Center . This affords students to schedule 1.5 to 2 hour simulation sessions at times convenient to their own schedules. As a result, during the spring semester, more than 300 nursing students are regularly scheduled on a bi-weekly basis! Attend this session to take a virtual tour of this facility that includes simulation labs, a fully furnished LDRP suite, debriefing rooms, and custom recording systems that can broadcast live or from archives to any A/V equipped classroom and consider how to review the process used to prepare and schedule scenarios.

B3. Using Computer Technology to Support Teaching Laboratory Value Analysis
The purpose of this presentation is to share the methodology and results of an evidence-based research project that has examined online programs to supplement clinical learning experiences using a randomized control experimental design. Discussions will center on findings regarding the impact that additional computer resources and learning activities had on clinical nursing students' abilities to interpret patient laboratory values accurately and learn more about students' perceptions regarding technology.

B4. Developing an Online Tr ansition Program Using Pod Cast Technology
With support from SUCCEED grant funding, Seminole Community College has integrated an LPN to RN and a Paramedic/Respiratory Therapist to RN transition curriculum and, via a partnership between Seminole Community College faculty and an instructional design team from the University of Central Florida, the traditional curriculum has been converted to an online curriculum. This session will address how to: (1) enhance the curriculum with online learning modalities and pod cast technology: (2) augment faculty/student interactions: and, (3) develop partnerships that allow faculty and partners to utilize their respective areas of expertise.
