Preconference Session: Exercising Students’ Brains: Cognitive Micro Skills at Work
8:00 am – 3:30 pm Faculty Pre-Convention Workshop (6 contact hours available)
Special Registration Required (8:00 am Registration- course starts at 8:30 am)
REGISTRATION INCLUDES: Full-day workshop • Lunch • 6 Contact Hours
As learners advance their patient care experiences, the cognitive skill of clinical judgment needed to manage complexity and ambiguity is challenged. Situational awareness (SA) is a necessary precursor to the cognitive processing skills that drive clinical reasoning and ultimately develop clinical judgment. Putting students in the center of our teaching and engaged in the experience allows for situated cognition—or learning in context—a concept at the forefront of contemporary educational reform. This workshop will focus on the use of “what-if rehearsing” as a necessary strategy to challenge today’s contemporary learner. You will be immersed in the use of a brain-based teaching strategy that will provide the necessary cognitive reasoning micro-skill development needed to build clinical judgement.
Objectives:
1. Define situated cognition and the link to situational awareness.
2. Discuss the connections between situational awareness and clinical judgment.
3. Explore a process (ARISE) to help learners increase their situational awareness and therefore, advance their clinical judgment
4. Discuss how the use of micro-skill rehearsing to prepare learners for Next Gen NCLEX.
Contact hours will be awarded for this program by the National League for Nursing, an authorized provider through the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET). No partial credit will be awarded. You must attend the learning event in its entirety and complete all required assessments to receive contact hours.

Plenary Session: Different Times…Different Perspectives…Different Partners
9:00 am – 10:45 am
In this plenary, the speakers will make the case that our profession is practicing, teaching, conducting research and dealing with policies in a time like no other. One of the highlights and perhaps most important lessons in this different time is the need to actively collaborate with our partners across disciplines while bringing to the table our nursing perspective and respecting the differences due to diverse backgrounds and ways of being. As a profession, we must continue our work together to advocate and abolish inequities across the healthcare arena. Our reflection must continue to be our catalyst for change, as we challenge and impact the world around us. We must let our past inform us and yet move forward as we advocate for the future. Patient and workforce safety depend upon us doing so. The collective future depends on healthy relationships.

Faculty Workshop: AI Chatbots—Challenges and Opportunities in Nursing Education
6:15 pm –7:45 pm (1.5 contact hours)
Text generators are not new, but the introduction of the free ChatGPT in fall 2022 has forced conversation among nursing faculty about the impact of AI on academic writing. When original work is required, the use of text generators is on the continuum of students behaving unethically to avoid writing assignments, from the old-school approach of paying a classmate to write a paper to using a 'homework help' website to pay a stranger to do it. Although related, using text generators is a separate issue than addressing plagiarizing content from other sources. With the new reality of text generator technology, nursing faculty discussions are needed to examine evaluation methods that require students to express original, critical thinking through writing.

Plenary Session: Different Times…Different Perspectives…Different Partners
9:00 am – 10:45 am
In this plenary, the speakers will make the case that our profession is practicing, teaching, conducting research and dealing with policies in a time like no other. One of the highlights and perhaps most important lessons in this different time is the need to actively collaborate with our partners across disciplines while bringing to the table our nursing perspective and respecting the differences due to diverse backgrounds and ways of being. As a profession, we must continue our work together to advocate and abolish inequities across the healthcare arena. Our reflection must continue to be our catalyst for change, as we challenge and impact the world around us. We must let our past inform us and yet move forward as we advocate for the future. Patient and workforce safety depend upon us doing so. The collective future depends on healthy relationships.

Faculty Workshop: AI Chatbots—Challenges and Opportunities in Nursing Education
6:15 pm –7:45 pm (1.5 contact hours)
Text generators are not new, but the introduction of the free ChatGPT in fall 2022 has forced conversation among nursing faculty about the impact of AI on academic writing. When original work is required, the use of text generators is on the continuum of students behaving unethically to avoid writing assignments, from the old-school approach of paying a classmate to write a paper to using a 'homework help' website to pay a stranger to do it. Although related, using text generators is a separate issue than addressing plagiarizing content from other sources. With the new reality of text generator technology, nursing faculty discussions are needed to examine evaluation methods that require students to express original, critical thinking through writing.
