In this paper, the authors share their experience related to graduate nursing programs offered by distributed learning (DL) in Canada and Brazil. Although degrees offered by DL are often the subject of criticism, the authors' experience has been that learning outcomes have been very good. Nevertheless, a number of challenges and opportunities have been encountered including those associated with flexibility of the program, delivering practice courses at a distance, facilitating interaction, faculty workload and preparation and student support, Newer technologies that may assist in this effort are identified. Despite the challenges encountered, students rate the program highly and ongoing efforts are underway to ensure excellence of such flexible innovative graduate programs in nursing. The authors argue that despite the challenges, DL programs offer high quality graduate education that meets the needs of many nurses.

Graduate Nursing

Advanced practice is the conceptual focus for the first Master’s of Science in Nursing (MScN) program in Pakistan. Initiated at the Aga Khan University School of Nursing (AKUSON) in October 2001, this full time two-year program aims to prepare nurses who are leaders in nursing practice with advanced knowledge and skills for their roles in either urban, rural, tertiary-care or community settings. The significance of the progress must be emphasized in a country where most nursing education takes place at diploma level and relatively few opportunities exist for nurses seeking a baccalaureate degree. Other countries developing graduate nursing programs may benefit from the expereince in Pakistan.

The contemporary American Health Care System created a demand for skilled advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) to meet the health care needs of the U.S. population. It is imperative that graduate nursing programs adequately educate APRN students with the competencies to address these demands. Graduate nursing programs have adopted simulation-based learning to provide safe, cost-effective learning opportunities without the potential for real-world negative outcomes that can arise during hospital-based education. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to provide a tailored, APRN-focused prebriefing activity before simulation-based learning and measure its effects on self-reported student self-confidence scores. This project was conducted using a quantitative post-intervention survey design with a convenience sample of 17 APRN students. The participants were provided a prebriefing intervention by email prior to their interprofessional education (IPE). After the prebriefing intervention, the APRN students participated in four pre-established IPE simulation scenarios. The participants were then asked to complete the National League for Nursing (NLN) Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning Scale, a thirteen-statement survey with a 5-point Likert scale measuring self-reported, student satisfaction and self confidence related to their simulation-based learning experiences. Overall, high scores resulted on the post-intervention survey for the two subscales. This project supported the implementation of a structured prebriefing activity before IPE simulation-based learning in graduate nursing education.

Watson’s Caring Theory and Caritas combined with Catholic Benedictine values expressed as Hallmarks are integral to the mission of the nursing program. It can be anticipated that faculty who live out the values and express caring serve as role models for the students in the online learning environment. Specific activities make explicit to students that caring is at the core of professional nursing practice and their role as nursing leaders. These processes can be incorporated in nursing programs at all levels and modes of delivery across secular, faith-based, or other academic settings.

Web Based Education

Distance education is increasingly prevalent in nursing programs, with a recent emphasis on graduate programs. This article reviews the strengths of alternative teaching modalities, including reaching those students who might not otherwise be able to further their studies. Innovative teaching strategies using the technology strengthen a student’s ability to acquire information and utilize evidence-based practice, similar to what will be faced in the nurse practitioner (NP) role. We will also examine faculty perspectives to see how to best proceed with distance education.

Over the past decades nursing educators and researchers have elaborated on their concepts of nursing and have provided a body of literature to shape nursing programs and influence further development of their work. Caring has been a dominant theme. In “Caring as the Central Domain in Nursing Education,” Boykin and Touhy have demonstrated the application of their beliefs in the design of their curriculum through all levels of the program. My response can be summarized as an experience of hope that the dominant theme of caring can become a praxis illuminating the future of nursing practice, education, and research.

Simulation is not just technology but a teaching method used to allow students to practice in a safe environment. The focus of simulation is to improve patient safety, communication, and the ability of the student to think and act as a nurse or advanced practice nurse. As use of simulation in nursing education increases, more regulations, guidelines, and standards are being developed to assist nursing programs to obtain best outcomes. This article provides readers with an overview of simulation use in undergraduate and graduate nursing education.
