New York, NY (PRWEB) October 24, 2011

Twenty nurse educators have been selected through a competitive application for the year-long Leadership Development Program for Simulation Educators. This National League for Nursing faculty development initiative is designed for those interested in assuming a leadership role in the field of simulation in nursing education.

Those selected represent the second cohort of nurse educators, chosen from institutions around the United States, to study for a year under the direction of Pamela Jeffries, DNS, RN, FAAN, ANEF. Dr. Jeffries, the author of numerous scholarly articles on the subject and editor of Simulations in Nursing Education: From Conceptualization to Evaluation (NLN, 2007), is a professor in the Department of Health Systems and Outcomes and associate dean for academic affairs at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. She is nationally known for her research and work in developing simulations and online teaching and learning.

At Hopkins and throughout the academic community, Dr. Jeffries is well regarded for her expertise in experiential learning, innovative teaching strategies, new pedagogies, and the delivery of content using technology in nursing education. She served as project director for a national simulation study funded by Laerdal Medical Corporation and was named to the same role for a second NLN-Laerdal grant to facilitate the development of web-based courses for faculty development in simulation and the national Simulation Innovation Resource Center (SIRC). She currently serves on a five-year Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grant to develop Health Information Technology Scholars (HITS).

I am delighted that Dr. Jeffries has agreed to direct this important NLN initiative for a second year, working with a new group of talented emerging leaders in simulation, said Dr. Beverly Malone, CEO of the NLN. This program of the NLN Leadership Institute has already proven to be an exceptional learning experience that, consistent with the NLNs core values of caring, integrity, diversity, and excellence, prepares participants as thought leaders for the 21st century and role models to the next generation.

To expand the science of nursing education related to simulation while developing their personal leadership portfolios, participants spend the year engaged in varied activities. Participants began their experience with two days in Orlando in September, just prior to the NLNs 2011 Education Summit. Looking ahead, the group will participate in leadership development webinars; exchange ideas and best practices in simulation in private forums and conference calls; review existing scholarly research; visit simulation centers around the country to evaluate resources and operations; consult with Laerdal representatives on equipment issues; contribute to a group project to develop or expand the Simulation Information Resource Center (SIRC) website; and attend conferences.

Those selected for the 2011-2012 Simulation Leadership Development Program are:

Celeste Marie Alfes, DNP, RN

Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH

Barbara Aronson, PhD, RN, CNE
