Dealing with Challenging Situations in Teaching and Student Interactions: Video Simulations of Critical Incidents

Nurse educators are often challenged by unexpected but common student interactions in the didactic and clinical settings. Anticipating these challenges and preparing to respond to them in productive and healthy ways has the potential to support facilitation of student success with more confidence. Drs. Carla Randall and Cynthia Randall at the University of Southern Maine have created a series of Critical Incident Videos they offer in a 2-hour faculty development session for nurse educators. If you would like to attend one of their sessions and participate in the ongoing research they are conducting on faculty preparedness to respond to challenging teaching situations, please contact them at civproject@maine.edu.
