Implementation of a Multimodal Interdisciplinary Massive Transfusion Protocol Educational Bundle Improves Knowledge and Self-Efficacy.

Purpose: Critical events in the operative setting require rapid management to prevent adverse outcomes. This article describes a multimodal educational bundle that was designed and implemented to improve readiness to respond to crises involving significant blood loss. Intended outcomes of this project were to increase knowledge and self-efficacy of anesthesia providers and perioperative staff members related to the use of the massive transfusion protocol (MTP).

Exploring Student Perceptions of a Virtual Practicum.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has disrupted and overwhelmed academia, adding many new challenges for nursing faculty. However, despite these challenges, nursing faculty at a small private university demonstrated resilience and innovation at the height of the acute phase of the crisis, transforming a traditional 2-day in-person Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) practicum to an abbreviated, interactive virtual format.

Method: A qualitative study was conducted to explore DNP student perceptions of the virtual practicum.
