Biography: Amber McCall
Abstract
An anticipated world-wide nursing shortage has been well-documented. Nursing educators report multiple generational differences among current students and seasoned faculty. This trend will likely continue to unfold as “digital nativesâ€, fully equipped with mobile learning wants and needs, seek to become nurses. Thus, updated and innovative teaching methods are needed in nursing education with efforts to engage Millennial and Generation Z nursing students. The objectives of this presentation/workshop are 1) to discuss the mindset needed for innovative teaching success, 2) view easy-to-duplicate examples of innovative teaching methods used in simulation environments, skills lab, clinical (or “hands-on†learning), lecture/didactic content delivery, online courses, and/or research/practice and 3) provide templates and facilitate processes to help attendees brainstorm and create their own innovative teaching resources.
