Welcome Letter 

Dear Colleagues, 

Welcome to the Washington, DC metro area and the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International 

(STTI) and National League for Nursing (NLN) co-sponsored event: Nursing Education Research Conference 

2016, Research as a Catalyst for Transformative Practice. 

STTI and the NLN have worked together to bring you this conference, and we are thrilled that you have devoted 

time in your busy schedule for education, professional development, and networking opportunities. We trust you 

will find valuable learning and professional development opportunities from our presenters and your colleagues. 

During the next few days, you will learn about leading nursing education research and innovation. In addition to 

the plenary presentations and concurrent workshops, there are opportunities to gather information, resources, 

books, and so much more. 

We hope you will also find time during the next few days to explore our host city – Bethesda/Washington, DC. 

Traveling on the Metro’s Red Line to the many museums, historical monuments, and delicious DC restaurants 

will no doubt be an exciting and memorable opportunity. 

If you would like suggestions on how to spend your leisure time, just ask an STTI or NLN staff member. We are 

confident that you will find this event (and our nation’s capital) to be both educational and enjoyable.

Special Session 

Standardizing Nurses; Bioethics Decisions With Innovative Interactive Technologies 

David Perlman, PhD and Michele G. Nichols, MA, BSN, RN 

The data on lack of nurses’ educational preparation in ethics is clear. Despite the knowledge 

that nurses are likely to encounter a host of ethical issues in their practice, recent research 

finds that nurses are not adequately prepared to handle ethical issues that arise in the 

current complex health care environment. Such unpreparedness can have a variety of 

adverse outcomes for nurses and their patients. In particular, nurses may feel significant 

“moral distress,” which is characterized by the feeling that one knows the proper and ethical 

course of action to take but is prevented from taking action due to a variety of institutional 

or other factors that limit or prescribe nurses’ ability to implement decisions. The author has 

developed and tested an innovative decision enhancement tool called YouDecide with 

a variety of nurses and nursing students to help standardize the process used to analyze 

ethical issues. YouDecide is a web-based education and business enhancement software 

application that allows learners to build their own answer to a challenge or problem posed 

by an expert. The goal of YouDecide is to harmonize complex decisions faced by groups 

with diverse educational backgrounds and values through knowledge reinforcement, 

working with the group to develop a consensus answer to a challenge or problem based 

on the results of building one’s own answer to the challenge, ranking individual answers, 

comparison to a subject matter expert’s answer, and facilitated discussion. Evaluation data 

from testing a standardized ethics case with several populations of nursing professionals 

involving the concept of brain will be presented. Coupled with other work on the use of 

standardized frameworks to enhance nurses’ diagnostic skills in detecting and analyzing 

ethical problems, the evaluation data show the promise of YouDecide’s unique sequence, 

structure, and organization to achieve consistency, practicality, and accessibility in ethics 

education for nurses.

Socratic Pedagogy: An Ancient Approach Serves as a New Catalyst for Teaching 

Critical Thinking 

Christine Dinkins, PhD, MA, BA; Jeanne M. Sorrell, PhD, RN, FAAN; and Pamela R. 

Cangelosi, PhD, RN, CNE, ANEF 

The goal of this presentation is to engage participants in applying ancient principles 

from Socrates to new strategies for teaching critical thinking. Although nursing literature 

emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, there is little research focused on how 

to teach this kind of thinking. A landmark study by the Carnegie Foundation for the 

Advancement of Teaching (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, & Day, 2010) identified an urgent 

need to develop new pedagogies that would teach nursing students and new nurses how 

to think critically, creatively, and ethically. Socratic pedagogy excels in teaching all three 

of these areas. The two key parts of Socratic teaching – questioning and metacognition – 

work in synergy to help students think critically and develop skills for lifelong learning and 

self-reflection. Socratic questioning prompts students to question their own beliefs and 

assumptions and to test connections between their beliefs and the situation at hand. Other 

than the introduction, the entire presentation will be conducted in a Socratic manner, thus 

also providing a model for participants of how Socratic teaching functions and what it is like 

to learn by such a method.

Ed, RN, CMSRN 

Nursing educators, and others teaching in the clinical health sciences, are becoming 

increasingly interested in the use of educational games, particularly those leveraging 

multimedia technology such as mobile media platforms. Students enjoy games and often 

become the driving force for the inclusion of game-based learning within the curriculum 

(Snider, 2003; Thuma, 2012; Wecker, 2012). Games themselves, by their very nature, provide 

both an evaluative and summative experience for teachers and students. Games also 

provide immediate and just-in-time feedback through a series of rules and consequences 

(Bauman 2012). Games are used to evaluate the player as a learner; success is evaluated 

through performance (Squire, 2006). Competency, in the context of performance evaluation, 

is a familiar and contextually relevant premise found throughout nursing education (Bauman 

& Ralston-Berg, 2014; Bauman & Games, 2011; Games & Bauman, 2011). As such, this 

presentation will explore how contemporary learning theory and frameworks support 

learning as performance (Squire, 2006) and move beyond the discussion of digital literacy 

(Gee, 2003 towards the perspective of digital wisdom (Prensky, 2012, 2014).

Preparing Nurse Faculty Leaders Through a Mentored Leadership Experience 

Omar Ali, MSN, RN-BC; Kay Clevenger, MSN, RN; and Karen Gorton, PhD, RN, MS 

The 2010 Institute of Medicine report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing 

Health, calls for health organizations, including nursing organizations and nursing schools, 

to “provide nurses greater opportunities to gain leadership skills and put them into practice.” 

In an effort to prepare the next generation of leaders in nursing education, the Sigma 

Theta Tau International/Chamberlain College of Nursing Center for Excellence in Nursing 

Education (CENE) offers leadership development programs for full-time nursing faculty who 

wish to increase their leadership acumen. Often times, faculty members are ‘thrust’ into 

leadership positions without adequate preparation. To facilitate this transition, the CENE 

offers two programs for emerging academic nurse leaders. The Experienced Nurse Faculty 

Leadership Academy (ENFLA), for faculty with seven or more years of experience, prepares 

academic nurse leaders to assume leadership roles in academe, professional organizations 

and their community. The ENFLA Scholar chooses a Mentor who will provide consultative 

expertise about leadership, career advancement and service. The Faculty Advisor oversees 

the development of the Scholar and creates an environment that maximizes the growth 

of not only the Scholar but the Mentor as well. This triad relationship is the foundation for 

leadership development. The Emerging Educational Administrator Institute (EEAI) prepares 

new or aspiring academic administrators to assume administrative roles in their School 

of Nursing. As with the ENFLA, the EEAI Scholar chooses a Mentor who will provide 

consultative expertise about leadership, career advancement and service. The Faculty 

Advisor completes this triad relationship serving as an additional mentor and resource to 

the Scholar. In both programs, leadership development is realized by a formal mentorship 

program, completion of a leadership project and lasting collegial relationships with academy 

alumni. Longitudinal data will be collected to evaluate program objectives and professional 

goals of the Scholars. We will outline the program goals and lessons learned from the pilot 

cohorts.

Participants venture into a research-based transformative learning experience using 

storytelling and critical reflection to challenge assumptions, gather insights, and raise 

questions about teaching. New revelations embolden participants to bring insight to 

individual and collective processes of reflection, generate shared meanings, and advance 

teaching excellence. This presentation encourages the participant to explore, examine, and 

consider assumptions around teaching and learning. Participants will engage through story 

telling and reflective pedagogy with other faculty to examine and evaluate teaching and 

learning assumptions.
