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.
