10. How to: Part I • Print off the following: • Go to: HealthForce Nursing Accreditation Portal Site and print: Template “Incorporating the NLN Framework into a Nursing Program”. • Copies of your course objectives for EACH course in your program

11. How to: Part II • PAIR faculty members together. • Choose faculty partners that teach the same courses

12. How to: Part III Set up • Set tables in a large circle. • There are 6 Integrating Concepts AND 3 Apprenticeships for Each Integrating Concepts = 18 sheets printed out. • Secure EACH sheet to a table. • Example: • Context and Environment (Knowledge Apprenticeship) on Table 1 • Context and Environment (Practice Apprenticeship) on Table 2 • Etcetera 5 out of the 18 integrating concepts/and apprenticeships are listed here

13. How to: Part IV Round Robin • Round robin. • Faculty rotate through all the stations. • Faculty write • the course, • objective, • learning activity • learning outcome on the sheets secured to the tables.

14. Part V: Compilation • Gather all the sheets and type all of the information into the table.

15. How to: Part VI Next time you meet • Identify the competencies that lack course objectives. • Develop course objectives to fulfill these competencies • Develop learning activities and outcomes measurements for the new objectives

16. Incorporating QSEN • We wanted to incorporate QSEN as well so when we finished we went through all the QSEN competencies to see if we had covered everything. • We found 2 or 3 that we had not covered and added those to our program.

17. Incorporating Teamwork • Agency of Health Care Research and Quality • TeamSTEPPS • http://teamstepps.ahrq.gov/abouttoolsmaterials.htm • Being implemented into the clinical settings statewide. (Safety Issue) • Site has PP’s, script for PP’s, videos, and multiple tools to use for your courses. • We developed a Simulation Evaluation Template to evaluate the use of TeamSTEPPS by our students in simulation.

22. Finding time… • What are MSCF Contract Days? • How many are available each year? • What are Professional Responsibilities? • Does this include NLNAC work?

23. MSCF Contract Days • Full time work year: • 171 days over 2 semester • 171 days= class days, test days, & duty days(per contract language) • Example in 2011-2012: • 163 class days + test days + 8 duty days • Our college has 2 administratively assigned duty days • 6 duty days per year for faculty work • (varies college to college)

24. MSCF Contract • (class days, test days, and duty days assigned by the administration). • “Days not identified for these purposes shall be utilized by instructors for activities necessary for the successful accomplishment of their professional responsibilities” (MSCF Contract 2009-2011, Article 10, Section 1, pp. 30-31). • NLNAC is a professional responsibility! • That gives you 5 to 6 days a year!!!

25. Template • Feel free to use this • Feel free to make changes as needed • June Larson, my faculty, and I are hoping to be able to present at the National NLN conference in Orlando in September. We will know in March if our abstract is accepted. • Any feedback on the template would be greatly appreciated! • Sue.field@northlandcollege.edu
