Are you prepared to step into the future of nursing education? We're thrilled to bring you an in-depth exploration of the Big 10 Practice Ready Nurse Initiative, an innovative project funded by an American Nurses Foundation grant. Joining us on this journey are the brilliant minds behind the initiative, Michelle Abersold and Cindy Bradley. They're here to share the transformative model they're developing to enhance nursing education through the use of virtual reality (VR) and debriefing techniques. Their work is not only altering the teaching landscape but also smoothing the transition for new nurses into practice.
How does the development process work for such a ground-breaking project? Michelle and Cindy offer a behind-the-scenes look at the technology and partnerships required. They discuss their experience navigating the grant's acquisition, managing contracts, and outlining a development timeline. Hear about the exciting plans they have for testing the program with a new nurse residency initiative. But remember, this isn't just about technology. It's about creating a more realistic and enriching experience for nursing students.
We also delve into the world of Immersive Virtual Reality Simulation (IVRS) and its profound impact on learners. With insights from Jeremy Balanson, a VR expert, we unpack how IVRS is being used to reduce pain, decrease discomfort, and even help with memory and dementia. We explore the unique partnership between Purdue, Michigan, and Minnesota that was formed for this Big Ten Project and discuss what this could mean for the future of nursing education. So, are you ready to reimagine what's possible in nursing education? Let's do it together. Tune in!
