UW CNE - Nurse Educators Conference 2023: Bridging the Gap

The two full-day conferences focus on building knowledge and creating a space for engaging dialogues that explore emergent issues and share innovative strategies for teaching and learning that challenge nursing education in academic and clinical settings. The conference also encourages collaboration and partnership with academic and nurse leaders on various topics of discussion that tiered academically prepared nurses across all practice settings and environments of care.

Intended audience:

Nurse educators, faculty, and nursing simulation educators that are in academic, profit, and non-profit community settings. Nurse specialists in nursing professional development units, nurse managers, nurse administrators, nurse directors, registered nurses interested in nursing education, and registered nurses in graduate nursing schools are welcome.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the conference, participants will report an increase in knowledge in:

1. Describing a teaching strategy appropriate to assist academically prepared nurses transitioning from the classroom to the practice setting to ensure safe, effective care.
2. Designing an interprofessional simulation using basic elements of a nursing simulation-based curriculum.
3. Collaborating with an NPD nurse educator to assist academically prepared nurses transitioning across a practice setting.
