Program Description:

This interactive one-day workshop is designed for nurses transitioning into or currently serving as clinical faculty in academic and healthcare settings.

Participants will gain essential skills and strategies to enhance their effectiveness as clinical educators, including methods to foster clinical judgment, effective communication and evaluation techniques, the art of debriefing, and best practices for delivering constructive feedback.

Through scenario-based exercises, group discussions, and guided reflections, attendees will engage in hands-on learning to build confidence in managing common clinical teaching challenges. The program will also provide access to valuable resources, including toolkits and templates.
 

Learning Outcome:

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to articulate the core responsibilities and expectations of clinical nursing faculty in academia, describe strategies to foster clinical judgment and critical thinking skills in nursing students, apply effective debriefing techniques to facilitate reflective learning, compare constructive and ineffective feedback approaches, access resources for continued development such as toolkits, templates, and mentor relationships.

After the Class of 2030 begins Orientation on the Alumni Hall Quad, join other alumni families in the College Pub to meet, mingle, and celebrate this milestone with others.

The practice of holistic nursing calls for deep integration of knowledge, presence, and intentional practice. In today’s complex healthcare environment, nurses are increasingly challenged to sustain their well-being while providing compassionate, patient-centered care.

The conference, again, is being held at The Colony Hotel, Kennebunkport, Maine.

This immersive, multi-day conference, Embodied Holism: Living Knowledge, Presence, and Practice, invites participants to explore holistic nursing as both a professional framework and a personal practice. Through a combination of didactic sessions, experiential learning, and reflective activities, participants will examine foundational theories such as Watson’s Caring Science, explore integrative approaches to supporting patient and caregiver well-being, and engage in practices that promote self-awareness, emotional resilience, and professional sustainability.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning, including techniques to ease suffering through therapeutic touch, reflective practices such as journaling and creative expression, and strategies to foster empowerment, boundary setting, and holistic approaches to care.
Set within a supportive and restorative environment, this conference is designed to nurture the whole nurse—enhancing the capacity to lead, care, and practice with presence, intention, and impact.

This is a four-part course. All four courses are required to earn the certificate. You do not have to sign up for all four courses at once. The four courses can be taken in any order.

DESCRIPTION: This innovative online certificate program is designed to explore the various components necessary to develop and run simulation scenarios within an academic or clinical setting.

WHO: Any nurse practicing in an education role who is interested in developing or working in a simulation program. This would be applicable to nurse educators in academia or healthcare facilities, preceptors, mentors, or staff nurses who are interested in learning more about this teaching pedagogy.

WHY: The content will provide the nuts and bolts of simulation to include how to assess educational needs, develop, implement and evaluate simulation experiences.

WHAT: In order to receive this 60-hour certificate (equal to 60 contact hours), completion of the four modules is required. Each module is 15 contact hours and is taught in an online format: 6 hours virtual live webinar, 9 hours online utilizing discussion boards and case studies, and required reading over the course of 4 weeks in an asynchronous manner.
 

Module 3: Desiging and Implementing Simulation Scenarios

Topics: nursing education simulation framework incorporating roles of facilitator and participant, educational practices, simulation outcomes and design characteristics.

Learning Outcome: Upon successful completion of this module, the participant will be able to discuss the important components of simulation design and important aspects to consider for simulation scenario implementation in both the hospital and academic settings

Agenda for Live Day:

• Session 1: Components of the NLN/Jeffries Simulation Theory and the INACSL Standards for Best Practice: Simulation Design
• Session 2: Fidelity in Simulation: The physical, conceptual, and psychological components of fidelity
• Session 3: The constructs of participant, facilitator, and educational practices as they relate to simulation scenario design and implementation
• 4 weeks of Readings and Discussion Board Posts and Responses on the Canvas LMS platform

September 30- October 27, 2026, live virtual webinar on September 30, 2026

Cost: $350
