Use of Video Recording to Facilitate Peer-to-Peer Learning in a Prelicensure Nursing Program
Peer-to-peer learning in a prelicensure nursing program allows students to critique one another with decreased stress and anxiety. The use of video recording technology affords students the opportunity to engage in reflective practices of physical assessment and psychomotor skills checkoffs outside of a traditional instructor proctored evaluation session. Students reported improved learning associated with peer-to-peer feedback. Instructor-proctored evaluation, although more authentic, produced more stress and anxiety.

Renewal
Spring, and particularly April, is often thought of as a time of renewal and growth with flowers blooming, buds on the trees, and green grass sprouting everywhere, but for nursing faculty, it is often the last gasp toward the end of the academic year, with graduation fast approaching. Nursing students and faculty are often weary and frazzled by this point in the academic year, heading toward an ending rather than a beginning. (Source: Teaching and Learning in Nursing)

Nursing Traditions
April is a time of transitions at my nursing program. In a few weeks, we will be celebrating graduation and also determining the incoming freshmen class. It is a hectic time, but one that I enjoy. As graduation looms, I see a jumble of emotions from the Class of 2017. They are anxious about final examinations, excited about their futures, hesitant about leaving the security of nursing school, afraid of the licensing examination, and concerned about the prospect of a new career. I cannot believe how they have grown over the short span of 2 years! I look at their faces and see the future of my profession. (Source: Teaching a...
