Considering Pass or No Pass education in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)
Webinar Details & Objectives
Scoring for the NCLEX is pass or no pass; however, implementation of a pass/no pass education in the pre-licensure education can pose obstacles for those who wish to pursue graduate nursing education or when utilized by nurse residency programs to evaluate applicants. Considering these issues is paramount when implementing a pass or fail grading system in nursing education. This webinar will discuss how virtual learning labs can provide competency based learning outcomes as a creative solution to students with an interactive and application-based learning opportunity, and the evidence to support a pass/no pass evaluation.

Innovations in Professional Nursing Education: Competency Based Education & UWM’s Flexible Option
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)
Webinar Details & Objectives
Join Dr. Kim Litwack and Lisa Mihlbauer from The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) as they explain their Flexible Option RN-to-BSN degree program that received AACN’s 2019 Innovations in Professional Nursing Education Award for Public Colleges/Universities.
Although the IOM report proposed that 80% of the nursing workforce become BSN prepared by 2020, the most recent statistics indicate that we have not met that goal. The program began in 2014 as a response to the need for a more innovative, non-term approach to BSN degree completion for registered nurses. Participate in this webinar and find out more about a successful innovative, non-term competency-based approach in providing an option to students not served by other traditional modes of education.
Objectives:
- Define CBE and describe our innovative RN-BSN CBE program.
- Discuss the lessons we learned as we created and implemented a direct assessment time variable CBE program for RN-to-BSN students at the UW-Milwaukee College of Nursing.
- Explore the effectiveness of CBE.
AACN’s Innovations in Professional Nursing Education Award recognizes the outstanding work of AACN member schools to re-envision traditional models for nursing education and lead programmatic change.

Full Practice Authority - What You Need to Know
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)
Webinar Overview
Across the country we see a national standard for education, program accreditation, and certification requirements for those in NP programs. However, there is a lot of variability when it comes to NP practice in states. States with Full Practice Authority (FPA) allow for NP practice without any contracts or relationships with a physician or oversight by the state medical board. Understanding the current status of FPA is important to your future practice and has implications on your patients. Join this webinar for an overview of FPA and its impact as well as learn more about what work still remains to have FPA adopted by all states across the country.
Objectives:
- The learner will define Full Practice Authority (as defined by AANP) and its impact on nurse practitioners.
- The learner will identify the current status of FPA. (In their state?)
- The learner will identify opportunities for advocacy in non-FPA state.
