Nursing strongly values comfort and patient-centered care at the end of life, but little end-of-life content is included in most basic nursing education programs. An innovative way to improve nursing education about the end-of-life transition is to provide nurse educators with an electronic toolkit. This article describes a newly created multimedia toolkit (TNEEL), which includes engaging strategies for teaching and learning about end-of-life care.

Abstract I ALWAYS HAVE CONSIDERED MYSELF FORTUNATE because of the way in which my career has developed. Sometimes I attribute this “luck” to the way the stars shine. Most often, however, I think my career development has more to do with the sage advice I have received, from my very first academic nursing experience through the present.

Clinical rotations in acute medical and psychiatric inpatient facilities are an essential component of the education for undergraduate nursing students. The benefits students receive from these clinical experiences have been documented, but no data have been reported regarding the advantages that students may bring to agencies. This exploratory study, which used a mail-back survey, asked adult health/medical-surgical nurses and mental health/psychiatric nurses in acute care units about the effects undergraduate nursing students had on staff time, staff development, quality of care, staff's personal satisfaction, and unit standards and practices during their clinical rotations. Results indicated that students contribute to the personal and professional satisfaction of the staff by offering opportunities for mentoring and reciprocal learning and allowing nurses to participate in students' professional development. Students also contribute to patient care.

This article describes how story was used to teach cultural assessment to baccalaureate nursing students enrolled in clinicals in long-term care facilities. Class sessions focused on learning to elicit and listen to patients' stories and use story as an assessment tool in clinical practice. With their peers, students learned to listen in a nonjudgmental, contextual way to the values and beliefs of the storyteller. They learned that all people, even those from the dominant mainstream culture, have stories to tell, and that stories build bridges between nurses and clients.

Abstract The culture of medical centers is changing: A new service initiative in health care, known as the Learning Academy, is the focus of interest among leading hospitals in the United States. Several health care systems that embrace the learning organization philosophy as “listening organizations” have already joined together in an Academy Connection, a consortium that links premier health care organizations through a learning infrastructure. One of the primary goals of the Academy Connection is to facilitate the transfer of learning and knowledge about staff education, training, and performance improvement.

This article describes a course designed to prepare RN-BSN students to assimilate relevant research findings into clinical practice. The course was developed as faculty accepted the challenge of providing didactic content completely online. Guided by two faculty members, two groups of students developed research proposals to respond to community needs identified by a local hospital and a nursing center.

Nursing faculty practices are rarely set up to collect and analyze data, but evidence about the effects and costs of clinical care provided by faculty is required by health plans and other payers. This article describes a strategy that links faculty research programs with practice and teaching activities in various locations. An informatics infrastructure uses a common language for data collection and a set of coherent processes for implementation. The theoretical basis for conducting practice-based research is explored.
