August 18, 2021: This webinar discussed Recommendation #7 : Inform the community through collaborative engagements and professional development opportunities that integrate best practices from nursing, mathematics, and statistics education.
August 6, 2021: This is a summary of a presentation at MAA's MathFest. It summarizes the Recommendations.
August 4, 2021: This webinar discussed Recommendation #6 : Incorporate assessment measures that reflect changing licensure/certification requirements, integrate quantitative and data reasoning with components of clinical judgment, and provide learners the opportunity for continuous improvement (rather than serving only as a high-stakes benchmark for academic progression).
We were joined by two representatives from the National Council of State Boards of Education who will share information about the Next Generation NCLEX as well as their recent Safe Study Reports (SSR) study.
July 21, 2021: This webinar discussed Recommendation #5 : Include an ongoing analysis and discussion of ethical and effective communication of mathematical and statistical data, results, and recommendations.
July 7, 2021: This webinar discussed Recommendation #4 : Integrate learning experiences throughout the nursing curriculum that provide learners an opportunity to develop sound quantitative reasoning, data reasoning, and clinical judgment.
June 23, 2021: This webinar discussed Recommendation #3 : Incorporate recommendations and best practices in nursing, mathematics, and statistics education in the design of learning outcomes, instruction, materials, and assessments.
June 9, 2021: This webinar discussed Recommendation #2 : Investigate the most appropriate sequencing of mathematics, statistics, and nursing educational offerings to ensure students acquire essential quantitative skills and competencies for quality and safe nursing practice.
May 27, 2021: This webinar discussed Recommendation #1 : Identify the quantitative skills and competencies necessary for quality and safe nursing practice.
May 12, 2021: This webinar was an overview of the Recommendations in preparation for the summer discussion series on each of the Convening recommendations.
February 2021: " Essential Quantitative Skills for Quality and Safe Nursing Practice" discussed current numeracy skills, possible quantitative nursing skills to update for a modernized taxonomy, and the common gateway math courses required for nursing students.
June 2020: " Teahing Dosage Calculations Online: Virtual Tools and Open Resources for Creating Engaging Content" discussed the challenges of online instruction and introduced free, virtual tools for teaching in the online environment.
June 2019: "Teaching Dosage Calculations: Strategies for Narrowing the Theory-Practice Gap" discussed the unique challenges of teaching dosage calculations, shared strategies for adapting classic dosage calculation problems to actively engage learners, and described the role of simulation and lab activities in narrowing the theory-practice gap and supporting diverse learners.
