Approach to graduate nursing education pedagogy and learning transition.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of San Francisco (UCSF) School of Nursing (SON) is a historically in person graduate program that immediately transitioned to remote learning at the start of the pandemic. In 2022, upon emerging from the pandemic, the need to intentionally determine the teaching and learning modality of the UCSF SON became apparent. This is a report of the process of our institutions transition from an in person to a hybrid school.

Where Are We Now? A Follow-up Survey on Regulation of Simulation Use in United States Prelicensure Nursing Programs.

Background: Approval of simulation in substitution of traditional clinical hours increased in nursing programs during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet these temporary and inconsistent between states. Variability and a return to "pre-pandemic" limits on simulation use amplify questions about consistency of learner outcomes.

Methods: Boards of Nursing (BONs) of the United States and District of Columbia (DC) were queried to verify accuracy of simulation regulations posted on the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) regulatory map and to identify factors contributing to regulatory changes.
