Quarterly Monitoring Report, Third Quarter, Second Year

 

View the Quarterly Monitoring Report for the Third Quarter, Second Year

Key Activities:
1. As of December 15, there are 22,000 national and international users of the Nursing Pharmacology e-book who have completed over 44,000 sessions since June 1, 2020. Additionally, 970 copies of the Nursing Pharmacology print version sold at college bookstores and on Amazon at an affordable cost ranging from $38 to $42, and 413 individuals from colleges from across the country have downloaded the free pdf print version from XanEdu.  

2. Development of the Nursing Skills book has completed and it will be piloted in several WTCS nursing course sections in Spring 2021.  The national peer review process will occur in February 2021.  Revisions will be made to the book based on peer review and survey feedback, and the e-book and optional print version will be published in Summer 2021.

3. The Nursing Fundamentals book continues to be developed and the peer review process is anticipated to occur in Spring 2021. The e-book and optional print version will also be published in Summer 2021.

4. H5P learning activities continue to be developed using augmented reality simulation videos on the Open RN YouTube Channel. To date, there have been over 38,000 video views, 180 hours of watch time, and 92 subscribers to the Open RN YouTube channel.

5.  The first VR prototype nursing scenario, “Cardiac Medication Administration,” was designed for a first semester nursing student and requires application of knowledge and skills gained from the Nursing Pharmacology, Nursing Skills, and Nursing Fundamentals textbooks while caring for a patient with dementia who becomes increasingly agitated. This scenario can be completed using Acadicus software by students wearing an Oculus Rift S headset to become completely immersed in the VR environment.  

Additionally, in response to remote learning required by COVID disruption, this scenario can also be shared by a faculty member signed into Acadicus using a screen broadcasting tool, such as Zoom. This second option reduces access barriers for students and only requires the use of a traditional laptop by the student.  See a video demonstration of this first prototype scenario. A prototype H5P scenario associated with the “Cardiac Medication Administration” VR scenario is currently in development and will be ready for piloting in January 2021.

Newborn Virtual Simulation Scenario

Image
As part of the response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Open RN team is pleased to announce the release of an OER Newborn Assessment Virtual Simulation  created in the H5P platform.  Faculty can incorporate this link into their learning management system for students to independently complete this scenario on their computer:  https://cvtc.h5p.com/content/1290975333436042968 An associated Teaching Plan is also provided for faculty with additional discussion questions that can potentially be used for a group activity.  Please provide feedback on this scenario using the survey link in the Teaching Plan.  We value your feedback as we continue to create additional virtual simulations using H5P.

NCLEX Next Generation: Case Study Questions

Image
NCSBN just released " The NGN Case Study " in their quarterly Next Generation NCLEX News, explaining how Next Generation questions are formatted in association with case studies.  The Open RN project is currently creating similar case studies and critical thinking questions for the Nursing OER Textbooks using H5P.   If you have personally developed similar case studies for your Pharmacology, Skills, Fundamentals, Mental Health or Management  courses that you would be interested in sharing with the Open RN project under CC by 4.0 licensing, please feel free to forward them to Kim Ernstmeyer at kernstmeyer@cvtc.edu. If your case study is selected for use by the Open RN workgroup, your name will be credited in the associated textbook.

New virtual simulation activities - Patient with Heart Failure on a Ventilator and Patient with Chronic Angina

Image
The Open RN team has quickly created 2 new H5P branching scenarios that can be used as "virtual simulation" by instructors trying to find  online learning activities to substitute for clinical. In addition to assigning these as independent learning activities, instructors could also potentially add additional group discussion questions regarding: focused assessments, setting goals and outcome criteria, prioritization of interventions, and evaluation.   Suggested discussion questions are included in the teaching plans below. Scenario overviews and associated teaching plans: 1.  Patient with heart failure on a ventilator: https://h5p.org/node/771207 Teaching Plan Overview :   Hector Fernandez is a 62-year-old male patient with a history of heart failure who was brought to the Emergency Department via EMS. He subsequently arrested, was resuscitated, and is now on a mechanical ventilator. Learning Objectives Incorporate evidence-based practice wh
