Create a World Health Organization COVID-19 Virtual Sim module in your school's Learning Management System (LMS) with the following instructions:
For this module you will be registering for the World Health Organizations, (WHO) Emerging Respiratory Viruses Including COVID-10: Methods for detection, prevention, response and control. You will be awarded 4 clinical hours for completing this module.
Please follow the below instructions to register and complete the course.
1. First you will need to go to the WHO website and create an account if you do not already have one. The account is free. World Health Organization Account Registration
2. Once you have set up your account you will need to search and register for the Emerging Respiratory Viruses Including COVID-10: Methods for detection, prevention, response and control course.
3. You will need to complete the entire course, which consists of an Introduction and Modules A through D.
4. Next take a quick screen shot of your WHO DASH Board, which shows you have successfully completed the course. You upload this screen shot into the Black Board Assignment Section under COVID Virtual SIM assignment.
5. The final step for completion of the virtual SIM is to take the Black Board Quiz titled WHO COVID 19.

STUDENT: COVID-19 Unfolding Case Study
UPDATE 12/29/20: Unfortunately, our national numbers have worsened since April 2020, when we first posted these articles. Our hospitals in many cities are in a crisis due to a shortage of beds, ventilators, and other emergency equipment. The hard questions posed in this newsletter are still asked each day and will continue through the winter.
We endorse the ethical stance that rationing be made based on the patient’s current clinical data, as the deciding rationing factors rather than preset criteria such as age. Certainly, insurance status or ability to pay should be blocked from the knowledge and not be a factor in rationing any scarce supplies.

Free resource that might be of use in courses, especially those integrating health systems, patient safety, and quality improvement.

Dear Professor ,
As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19), many colleges and universities have moved to online-only instruction and distance learning. We know that this means physical libraries are at limited capacity or closed entirely. We want to do what we can to help.
To support professors and their students, we are providing temporary free access through VitalSource and RedShelf to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th and 7th editions), the Concise Guide to APA Style, and more than 160 other titles published by APA Books, including Helping Skills, Dissertations and Thesis from Start to Finish, and Addressing Cultural Complexity in Practice. These resources are available for free to instructors and students at participating nonprofit academic institutions affected by campus closures until May 25, 2020:
Access via VitalSource
Access via RedShelf
In addition, we have many APA Style resources that will remain freely available:
A free Academic Writer® tutorial: Basics of Seventh Edition APA Style
A PDF handout guide to what’s new in the seventh edition (1.3MB)
Other handouts and webinars for teaching and learning seventh edition APA Style
To learn more about other programs visit www.apa.org/pubs/covid-19-resources
Be well.
Sincerely,

This video comes recommended as a case that could be used for student's analysis of what worked well and why related to the caregiver's communication/history taking assessment.
A tool that can be used to embed questions into videos for teaching/learning purposes
A sample of how Edpuzzle works created by Michelle Jewett from CNM for the New Mexico Center for Nursing Excellence Virtual Nurse Educators Conference on June 2 & 3, 2020. Note that the symbols below the time elapsed bar mark the places where questions were inserted. Also not that since this is an example, answers and progress will not be saved but would be if using for own teaching purposes through Edpuzzle site.
Shared by Dr. Yvette Conyers, St. John Fisher College, Wegmans School of Nursing, in presentation, It’s Time for CLAS: Community and population health senior nursing students engage in discussions on race and ethnicity and its impact on community health, at Nurse Tim conference, August 2020.
Reported on pilot and implementation of national program from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH). Consists of three courses/modules (~ 8 hours) to be used as tools to further discussion on diversity and inclusion in the classroom:
1. How to deliver culturally and linguistically competent nursing care, including a self-awareness tool and strategies for delivering patient-centered care.
2. Communication and language assistance, including how to work effectively with an interpreter.
3. Organizational CLAS-related activities, including strategic planning, staff training, and community partnerships.
Recommendations from presentation:
•Faculty should take first before using with students. Can become a facilitator after completing the courses/modules.
•For students, can be used as clinical time.
•Have small group discussions facilitated by faculty after each course/module.
•Students can provide a certificate of completion which validates completion of entire program with a minimum of 70% on post-tests.
