This presentation outlines a Just-in-Time Teaching approach to simulation preparation utilized in some of the larger simulation events in the BScN program at Thompson Rivers University. As our school utilizes a concept-based curriculum, it can be challenging to ensure that all foundational content and concepts a simulation are built upon are present in prior coursework. A Just-in-time approach provides or refreshes relevant knowledge prior to application in the simulated environment.

Kristen Plowe RN/MN  

 

As a nurse educator, my primary goal is to foster a dynamic and interactive learning environment that cultivates critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills in my students. I am constantly searching for innovative and engaging teaching methods that keep students engaged and excited about what they are learning. Simulation based learning creates an immersive platform for students to apply knowledge and practice skills in a controlled setting. With a background in acute care, I aim to create scenarios that reflect the complex and dynamic real-world of clinical practice to help foster inquiry and confidence in the next generation of nurses.
