Free Collaborative Webinar
Join us for a webinar with nursing education experts from UNC Charlotte, Katherine Shue-McGuffin and Melinda Pierce, as they discuss their innovative simulation-based training program for family nurse practitioner students. Don’t miss this chance to walk away with practical strategies you can apply to your own program. Request access!
In this webinar, you will learn:
- See how escape room design translates into measurable outcomes. Learn how structured pediatric scenarios improved student confidence, satisfaction, and readiness to provide evidence-based care across age groups from infants to adolescents.
- Discover strategies for implementation. Get step-by-step insight into how the simulation was developed, organized, and run—including pre-briefing, scenario design, and debriefing—so you can adapt the model to your own institution.
- Understand evaluation beyond satisfaction surveys. Explore how mixed-methods data collection (pre/post tests, focus groups, self-efficacy measures) provided deeper insights into learner performance and program effectiveness.
- Build stronger links between simulation and clinical decision-making. Gain ideas for integrating escape room-style challenges into broader curricula to assess critical thinking, diagnostic accuracy, and interprofessional teamwork.
