Reimagining Nursing Education   Reimagining nursing education is not just about updating curricula but transforming how we prepare our educators. By integrating design thinking into faculty professional development, we can foster a more innovative and adaptive approach to teaching. Design thinking encourages educators to empathize with students, define real-world problems, ideate creative solutions, prototype new methods, and test their effectiveness in the classroom. This process helps faculty develop a mindset that values collaboration, creativity, and continuous improvement. It equips them with the tools to design engaging, student-centered learning experiences that prepare nursing students for the complexities of modern healthcare.   Integrating design thinking into faculty development also encourages a culture of experimentation and resilience, where failure is seen as a step toward success. This transformative approach can lead to more dynamic and responsive nursing programs that better meet the needs of both students and the healthcare system.   By reimagining nursing education through the lens of design thinking, we can ensure our educators are not only knowledge transmitters but also innovators, mentors, and leaders who inspire the next generation of nurses to thrive in an ever-changing healthcare landscape. #NursingEducation #DesignThinking #FacultyDevelopment #HealthcareInnovation

🌟 Recapping an inspiring week at the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) Conference! 🌟 This past week, the CORE team had the incredible opportunity to connect with thought leaders and innovators at the NONPF Conference. Here are some key takeaways: 📈 Growth in Graduate Nursing Programs: It's clear that graduate nursing programs are on the rise. The increasing demand for skilled nursing professionals highlights the need for robust educational structures. 🧑⚕️Streamlining Clinical Placement Management: Even the smallest programs face significant challenges in managing clinical placements efficiently. Streamlining these processes is crucial to enhancing the educational experience and operational efficiency. 📖Competency-Based Education: A common theme across many institutions is the shift towards Competency Based Education (CBE). The need for support in curricular mapping to align with CBE goals is more critical than ever. At CORE, we are thrilled to see the enthusiasm for solutions that address these challenges. Our tools for clinical placement management and curricular support are designed to ease these burdens, allowing educators and administrators to focus more on student success and less on administrative complexities. 🤝A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about how CORE can support your programs. We are excited to continue these conversations and partnerships to drive the future of nursing education! 🔗 Stay connected with us to learn more about our innovative solutions! corehighered.com #NONPFAC24 #NursingEducation #HigherEd #ClinicalPlacement #CompetencyBasedEducation #COREHigherEd

We have nearly come to the end: of another Nurses Week and of another semester.    Moments like these call for reflection; for appreciation of the path that led us here before we walk the next mile of it. This year’s theme for Nurses Week was “Answering the Call.” As I think about what that means, I am struck by just how many examples of it I’ve seen in our senior class. We’re holding our graduating students’ reception this afternoon and I’m simply blown away by their accomplishments. Excellence in the classroom. Innovation in research. Diligent commitment to patient care during clinical rotations. These are not easy challenges for young people to take on, and yet they do so with grace and wisdom beyond their years. Nurses are often faced with moments where they must lead. They operate in rapidly changing environments with multiple priorities and sometimes limited information, all with the well-being of others at stake. It is both a duty and a privilege to be the ones to rise to that challenge. I am struck by the profound sense of purpose that our soon-to-be graduates express whenever they talk about their next steps. The word “help” comes up in every conversation I have with them. They answered the call during their time at Marquette. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will do so in the professional world too.    There’s still one thing left to do before Nurses Week concludes and it is my favorite thing: handing each of these future nurses their diploma at commencement. Thank you for all that you gave to Marquette, graduates. Go be great. 

Nursing education is no longer confined to the four walls of a lecture room—it’s breaking boundaries, embracing dimensions we once only dreamed of. Last month, I had the privilege of presenting our initiatives at Grit Academy during the NETNEP Elsevier conference in Singapore. It was an incredible opportunity to not only share but also witness how nursing education is evolving. From immersive simulations to mixed-reality environments that bridge the gap between theory and practice, innovation is reshaping how we prepare future nurses to deliver exceptional care. Gone are the days when learning was solely about textbooks and lectures. Today, we are equipping our nurses with tools that allow them to simulate real-life complexities, refine their competencies, and build confidence in safe and controlled environments. Technology has unlocked a multidimensional approach to education that makes learning dynamic, engaging, and transformative. But as we marvel at the advancements, my hope—and advocacy as an educator—is this: while we embrace technology in nursing education and healthcare delivery, we must never lose sight of the human touch. The essence of nursing is human caring. It’s the connection we build with our patients, the empathy we offer in their most vulnerable moments, and the humanity we bring to every interaction. Technology can enhance our skills, but it cannot replace the soul of what we do. So, as we step boldly into this exciting era of innovation, let us carry this truth with us: nursing will always be rooted in humanity, not just technology. Let’s continue advancing our tools and techniques, but never at the cost of the compassion that defines our profession. How are you balancing innovation and human touch in your practice or teaching? Let’s keep the conversation going. #NursingEducation #Innovation #CaringInNursing
