Similar to a traditional \u201cDedicated Education Unit\u201d, this model embeds students directly into one hospital unit instead of rotating them around various units. But this version is different because \u201cit was created by nurses, for nurses,\u201d said Angie Philips, director of the pre-license nursing program.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of taking ten students all in one shift, the DEU 2.0 splits student groups into two shifts of five. This \u201c5:5 split model\u201d maximizes clinical placement space and is also used with partners at Saint Alphonsus and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/news\/2023\/11\/07\/learning-at-the-boise-va-medical-center-positively-impacts-nursing-students\/\">Veterans Affairs Medical Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The school also worked with several facilities \u2013 St. Luke\u2019s Nampa Medical Center and West Valley Medical Center, for example \u2013 to develop a model that rotates med-surg students through less typical med-surg units.

But for a variety of reasons, it\u2019s typically difficult to place students in these kinds of clinicals. So the school brought the clinical setting to the students. Faculty developed a behavioral health module and paired it with an immersive experience that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/nursing\/2023\/02\/15\/behavioral-health-simulation-equips-nursing-students-for-any-clinical-setting\/\">simulates a behavioral health<\/a> inpatient unit.<\/p>\n\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                    <div class=\"faq__question\">\n                                                                                                    <div class=\"faq__question__title\">\n                                                        <h4 class=\"faq__question__title-item\">QR Code Communication<\/h4>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                <div class=\"faq__question__answer t-content\">\n                                                    <figure class=\"wp-image wp-image--no-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-195465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/nursing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/81\/2024\/02\/Badge-buddy-sq664.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a badge with a QR code for NURS 335: Behavioral Health Nursing Data Portal.\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/figure><p>For nursing staff working with different students, employers also noted that these clinical instructors could benefit from an easy way to check a student\u2019s competency level during clinical rotations.

The School of Nursing\u2019s simulation research <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/news\/2023\/03\/30\/nursing-faculty-on-board-with-the-rise-of-virtual-healthcare-education\/\">team focused on incorporating<\/a> these elements into undergraduate nursing simulations, so students now have at least one telehealth-related scenario in every semester of the on-campus program.<\/p>\n<p>Before teaching at Boise State, clinical assistant professor Jason Blomquist spent three years as a director of telehealth services at St. Luke\u2019s Medical Center. He now brings that expertise into nursing simulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe often think of telehealth as a virtual visit with your doctor over a video call, and I think that\u2019s a very narrow scope of what it actually is these days,\u201d Blomquist said. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing more and more of it being used as a workforce aid for our nursing and provider groups.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-image wp-image--no-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-194247 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.boisestate.edu\/nursing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/81\/2023\/02\/Students-w_computer-web-opt.jpg\" alt=\"Nursing students in blue scrubs input data into a laptop in the skills lab.\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Blomquist said this might look like a virtual nurse supporting an in-person bedside nurse with tasks like admissions or rounding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s a very different style of working,\u201d Blomquist said. \u201cGiving [students] exposure to that so they\u2019re ready for it when they get out into the workforce is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students also get practice with remote patient monitoring and learning to use virtual translation services.
