AI Chatbots—Challenges and Opportunities in Nursing Education
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. Text generators are 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 solicit and 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.
Speaker: Julie Kientz Elting, EdD, RN, CNEAssociate Professor of Nursing Director, Center for Nursing Scholarship, Long Island University, Brooklyn, NY

New Grad Transition to Practice: What Faculty Need to Know and Do
The transition from nursing student to new graduate starting as an entry-level staff nurse is a critical time. This transition can make or break a nursing career. How do we transition the passion and desire to be the best nurse possible with high ideals and expectations, to the overwhelming workplace with high acuity, high nurse-to-patient ratios, COVID, and the fear of asking questions and making mistakes? What role does faculty play in this transition? How can employers avoid high RN vacancy rates, low RN retention rates, the movement from staff nurse to travel nurse, burnout, and low self-esteem? How do we fend off the severe shortage of RNs throughout the USA? What role does Professional Identity Formation in Nursing play during this transition? Is it realistic to think that a practice-ready new graduate is attainable?

Educating and Practicing in a Race-Conscious Society
Understanding & Dismantling Structural Racism* Speaker: Kenya Beard, EdD, AGACNP, CNE, ANEF, FAAN, Associate Provost, Social Mission & Academic Excellence, Chamberlain University. The skills to practice and teach in a race-conscious society have taken on a new sense of urgency in the aftermath of George Floyd's death. The National League for Nursing, Future of Nursing, and Joint Commission are just a few of the organizations calling on educators and practitioners to advance health equity; the right for every individual to achieve their highest level of health. The new AACN Essentials states that "...nursing education needs to ensure an understanding of the intersection of bias, structural racism and social determinants with healthcare inequities and promote a call to action." So where and how do we begin? This event is for forward-thinking individuals who want to address structural racism and join colleagues in pursuit of health equity. |
