Pre-Conference: How to Improve the Health of your Learning Environment: Fostering Civility Among Students and Faculty
8:30 am – 3:30 pm     Faculty Pre-Convention Workshop (6 contact hours available)
Special Registration Required
REGISTRATION INCLUDES: Full-day workshop • Lunch • 6 Contact Hours
Given the costs of incivility and disruptive behavior on patient safety, the role of nurse educators in developing professionals who can interact appropriately with their healthcare team members has perhaps never been more important. Faculty members frequently express frustration about how to effectively deal with various difficult student situations, including how to address inappropriate student behavior. Additionally, sometimes inappropriate behavior exists among faculty teams that negatively impact the overall learning environment and runs counter to the professional behaviors we expect of students. The purpose of this workshop is to equip educators with tangible strategies to cultivate civility within the learning environment, as well as to more adeptly handle difficult student situations when they do occur.
 
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.  
 
Speaker: Susan Luparell, PhD, RN, CNE, ANEF, associate professor, Montana State University College of Nursing, is involved in both the baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs. A fellow in the Academy of Nursing Education, she is a nationally recognized speaker and author on the topic of incivility in nursing education.
