Happy Nurses Week!

“The pandemic has exposed the enormous pressures our nurses are working under, as well as shining a light on their incredible commitment and courage. What the pandemic has also done is given us the opportunity to call for a reset and the opportunity to explore new models of care where nurses are at the centre of our health systems.”
Howard Catton, ICN Chief Executive Officer

“While there has been significant disruption to healthcare, there has also been significant innovation that has improved access to care. In 2021, we will focus on the changes to and innovations in nursing and how this will ultimately shape the future of healthcare.”
Annette Kennedy, ICN President

CAN-SIM ONLINE VIRTUAL SIMULATION GAME DESIGN WORKSHOPS 

Our first online virtual simulation game (VSG) design workshops were a big success. Participants experienced writing learning outcomes and assessment rubrics, developing decision point maps with rationale, writing filming scripts, filming over zoom, filming in the simulation lab, and assembling video clips using the CAN-Sim VSG template. Four new VSGs were created: (1) faculty development for virtual debriefing; (2) communication in a community health clinic; (3) faculty development for student failing; and (4) nonparenteral medication administration.

NEXT WORKSHOP: TBA

CASN – Canadian Simulation Education Certification

The Simulation Certification Program fosters excellence in nursing education in Canada through faculty development in simulation-based pedagogy, practices, and technologies. The program prepares nurse educators to address a broad complement of practice learning needs and the full range of simulation typologies.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Simulation Certification Program encompasses four modules, each offered once per calendar year. Although the given sequence is recommended, modules may be taken in any order and over the course of two years. Every module culminates in a submitted assignment and a multiple-choice exam. Upon successful completion of all four modules, participants will be prepared to write the national certification exam to achieve the Canadian Certified Simulation Nurse Educator (CCSNE) designation.

Audience: Nurse educators using simulation in nursing education programs

Delivery: Online (Adobe Connect & Moodle)

Timeframe: Modules are 7-8 weeks

MODULES

Module 1: Theory and Design – next offering in January 2022  

Module 2: Facilitation – next offering in spring 2022

Module 3: Interprofessional Education – next offering in summer 2021

Module 4: Evaluation and Scholarship – next offering in fall  2021
