Earlier this month, legislators along with leaders from local businesses, healthcare organizations and the university toured the School of Nursing for a behind-the-scenes look at Boise State\u2019s cutting-edge nursing education.<\/p>\n

The school designed an immersive \u201cDisneyland experience\u201d to share its progress with the public. Each stop in the 12-station tour focused on significant advancements that combat Idaho\u2019s nursing shortage.<\/p>\n

\"Guests
Associate professor Marilyn O’Mallon shows a tour group the self-care spaces, including a coloring wall mural.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThe field of nursing has been through many challenges in recent years, yet our team decided to rise together to meet them head on,\u201d said Shelle Poole, divisional dean of the School of Nursing.<\/p>\n

Participants journeyed through space and time as the school identified past challenges that propelled it toward its present technology and curriculum. The tour also revealed goals for the future that would advance the scope, mission and effectiveness of nursing education at Boise State.<\/p>\n

Leading the charge with unique innovations<\/h2>\n

As the tour began, guests were asked to consider the context of the previous two years, which led to the growth of the school\u2019s self-care focus. Visitors stood in the newly minted self-care room while they learned about the school\u2019s integration of self-care<\/a> into simulations, curriculum and research.<\/p>\n

Guests also walked through a demonstration of the Dedicated Education Unit 2.0<\/a>, a novel clinical model designed by nurses, for nurses. Visitors got a glimpse of the interdisciplinary training occurring within the College of Health Sciences and how the school’s partnerships with local health systems impact students.<\/p>\n

\"In

Another station demonstrated how the School of Nursing spearheads education in virtual healthcare and telehealth.<\/p>\n

According to Jason Blomquist, a clinical assistant professor and the former director of virtual care and telehealth at St. Luke\u2019s, these are important ways for delivering care, yet very few nurses and students outside of Boise State receive training on the technology and relevant skill set.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re teaching students what\u2019s being used in local healthcare systems, how to use it, and how to interact with patients virtually so they\u2019re fully prepared to enter the workforce,\u201d said Blomquist, the faculty expert at this stop in the tour.<\/p>\n

Real world training for work-ready nurses<\/h2>\n

Several stations in the Simulation Center<\/a> demonstrated how the Boise State program equips students to be workforce-ready through enhanced realism.<\/p>\n

\"A
Visitors to the School of Nursing had the chance to hold a realistic baby manikin during their tour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One stop featured Georgia Taylor, a simulated character portrayed by a standardized patient<\/a> actor (which is about as real as you can get). The Georgia character was developed through the Patient Voice Project<\/a>, a research effort designed to enhance the reality of simulations<\/a> by interviewing real Idaho patients and writing scenarios based on their actual experiences.<\/p>\n

At another stop, the chance to cradle a baby caught some guests by surprise \u2013 no, it wasn\u2019t real, but its seemingly real hair, nails and weight could fool almost anyone.<\/p>\n

\"A
Associate professor Kelley Connor explained how visually high-fidelity manikins help nursing students best prepare to serve the community.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Guests also encountered a high-fidelity manikin with a detectable pulse, blinking eyes and a chest that rises and falls.<\/p>\n

Other visually impressive manikins demonstrated how students learn to care for underserved populations, such as a geriatric manikin and a bariatric manikin that was utilized in a weight-bias simulation and study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Synergy produces positive results<\/h2>\n

One of the key components of the school\u2019s culture is collaboration, and this all-hands-on-deck event was no exception. From staff tour guides to students demonstrating clinical skills to faculty experts at each tour stop, the school radiated synergy and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

\"Women

This collective culture of innovation increases students\u2019 workforce readiness in order to impact the rate of new nurse retention.<\/p>\n

As the school looks to the future, it hopes to expand educational access throughout the state with more remote learning options that would increase opportunities for rural Idahoans to join the ranks of skilled \u201cBronco Nurses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud of what the School of Nursing is doing because we want to give students a way to imagine themselves going back home and bringing their skills and talents there, so that they can serve the entire state and not just here in the metro area,\u201d said Dr. Marlene Tromp, Boise State\u2019s president. \u201cThat\u2019s been one of the big focal points of the whole university.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boise State aims to play a key role in solving Idaho\u2019s nursing shortage. With this event, the School of Nursing proved that it has the kind of Blue Turf Thinking<\/a> to get the job done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
