Assessing and Meeting Genomics Content Competencies in Graduate Nursing Education

To discuss efforts of one Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) education program to evaluate the knowledge and retention of genomics content.
Genomics content is threaded through the curriculum to meet the education competencies.
Data sets of genomics knowledge of incoming graduate FNP cohorts will be assessed and compared to knowledge retention in their final year before graduation.

The Role of In-person Simulation and Skills Intensives in the Education of Emergency Nurse Practitioners

Simulation is a highly effective pedagogy for teaching in both undergraduate Registered Nurse (RN) and graduate Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) programs (NONPF, 2022; NTF, 2022). Using simulation is especially helpful to increase APN competency around high-risk, low volume events they may not experience in their clinical settings··Simulation is an important way to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and application to practice for APNs
