Jefferson School of Nursing offers a distinguished educational program that combines research and technology with compassionate care.  We are one of six colleges and schools dedicated to health sciences education and research at Thomas Jefferson University. Jefferson’s patient-centered model of healthcare education brings future nurses, pharmacists, physicians, therapists and technologists into the same classrooms and simulated clinical settings. Training together using the latest technologies in realistic environments gives students the knowledge, experience, and mindset to be successful members – and leaders – of the integrated healthcare team.Pilot Project: JSN FACT Cohort The Facilitated Academic Coursework Track (FACT) is for highly talented students who already hold a bachelor’s degree in a field other than nursing. FACT students earn the BSN degree in 12 consecutive months of intensive full-time study. Students accepted into this program option are admitted to both the undergraduate and graduate programs.  During the program’s undergraduate phase, students earn 55-credits, and an additional 9 graduate credits at JSN.  Students are scheduled for theory course content two days per week; and clinical practicum experience 24 hours per week.  This schedule allows time to integrate theoretical concepts and constructs into clinical practice.  Clinical hours may include evenings and weekends. At the end of the program, students take the state nursing licensing exam and if successful, select their specialty area in the MSN specialty they wish to pursue.JSN: FACT Jefferson School of Nursing has included using a personal digital device (qualified smart phone, pda or iPod Touch) in its curriculum for several years.   These devices are used in the classroom, simulation laboratories and clinical setting. The content made available on these devices was from Unbound Medicine – Nursing Central.  It included:Project Objectives1.  Evaluate the usability of the iPad as single tool for accessing instructional materials used in the nursing curriculum.2.  Measure student and faculty satisfaction with using the iPad.3.  Measure student satisfaction with wireless access in the lecture hall, simulation laboratories, library and clinical sites.4.  Evaluate use of the iPad as an audience response tool, compared to the use of the handheld "clickers" used the previous year.5.  Evaluate the use of the iPad as a clinical reference tool, compared to the use of the PDD used the previous year.6.  Evaluate the use of the iPad as an assessment tool for exams in Blackboard.7.  Evaluate the usability of the iPad as single tool for accessing instructional materials used in the nursing curriculum. Project Support Chief Information Officer provided funding to help offset the student cost of purchasing ipad2. School of Nursing Dean provided funding to purchase faculty devices. Education Services and University IT provided support services for faculty and student training and development. Campus Support Services Classroom and library support are provided by AISR (Academic & Instructional Support & Resources) JeffIT is our infrastructure group responsible for wireless network, desktop computers, enterprise systems, etc. Together this group tested the wireless availability in the classrooms and identified where increases in services would be needed (everywhere!) Additional access points were installed in the classrooms and a support team of personal from both groups would be available on the first and second days to help make sure students were able to get the iPads onto the network, sign into the email and Blackboard accounts, and provide help with any apps the students were having trouble with.Faculty Support Timing – iPad2 just released User Manual Setup (campus wifi network, e-mail, calendar, etc) and ongoing support/troubleshooting Meaningful Use – everybody hopes for it◦ Instant access to text books◦ Include searching web in class activities◦ TurningPoint for interaction and attendance◦ Drug dosing calculations◦ Heart sounds◦ Testing◦ Clinical companion resourceStudent Support iPad distribution with the bookstore Orientation workshop and User Manual Getting onto the wireless network Setting up email Configuring the TurningPoint and Nursing Central applicationsThere’s an app for that… Required◦ Nursing Central (purchased by students)◦ Kaplan (via Safari)◦ Elsevier’s Vital Bookshelf (for ebooks, app is free)◦ TurningPoint ResponseWare (paid for by JSN)There’s an app for that… Recommended by us◦ Find my iPhone/iPad (free)◦ DropBox (free)◦ NCLEX-RN Quiz Cards ($2.99)◦ Blackboard Mobile Learn (free)◦ MedLab Tutor (free)◦ Mnemonics ($1.99)◦ Pages ($9.99)◦ Keynote ($9.99)◦ iStethoscope Pro ($.99) or iAuscultate ($.99)◦ iAnnotate ($9.99) or Noterize (free)Also Required/Recommended Passcode Lock (required) Wallpaper image with name and contact information (recommended) Erase Data on 10 failed passcode attempts (required)iPad Launch SiteStudent OrganizationVideo DemonstrationsDiscussion Groups: SupportDiscussion Groups: AppsEvaluation Student Demographic and Orientation Surveys Student and Faculty Satisfaction Surveys Student and Faculty Focus Groups Classroom Observation Course Evaluations Next… We are continuing with the FACT program again this year – new ebook provider.
