The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (2021) published by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing encourages bridging the gap between education and practice and continues to support the importance of providing clinical educational experiences in diverse settings. Another AACN document, Defining Scholarship for Academic Nursing Task Force Consensus Position Statement (2018), strongly encourages nursing faculty to engage in scholarship, a tradition that is integral to academic positions. This article demonstrates how these two important documents, one aimed at student competencies and curriculum and the other at nursing faculty development, can be connected to the mutual benefit of faculty and students alike. By revisiting Boyer's model of scholarship, the authors offer a new look at the integration of experiential learning that includes clinical practice, research, and competency-based education. The case study demonstrates that students and faculty can meet the tripartite mission of nursing education by creatively engaging in a community-based setting where they actively participate in all three pillars of academic nursing.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in a variety of clinical settings and is a safe and powerful tool for ultrasound-trained healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses; however, the effectiveness of ultrasound education for nursing students remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the sustained educational impact of bladder ultrasound simulation among nursing students.

Methods: To determine whether bladder POCUS simulation exercises sustainably improve the clinical proficiency regarding ultrasound examinations among nursing students, evaluations were conducted before and after the exercise and were compared with those after the 1-month follow-up exercise.

Elucidation of this problem could promote understanding of the neurocognitive impact of early-onset CHD and provide suggestions for the prevention of dementia.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate whether observed and genetically predicted early-onset CHD were related to subsequent dementia and WMH volume.
