Nursing of Children Students Participate in an Interactive Case Study
Last semester, students in NURS 345 were introduced to “Rodney,” a four-year-old male who was referred to the ER by his pediatrician. Dr. Shockey engaged students in a discussion of the unfolding case, which was projected in the classroom and included audio and visuals for added realism. Because the case was built around questions that Dr. Shockey anticipated students would ask, it was designed to accommodate her need to display specific information quickly rather than linearly. Sixty-seven students responded as shown to a post-class survey that was administered via Blackboard:
Based on this positive feedback, Rodney will be back to visit the class in a new scenario this semester! Please contact Elizabeth Miles if you would like to have something similar created for your class.
