The Story:

 

Kristi Bulkowski MSN-Ed, RN, a nurse educator with The Ohio State University Brain and Spine Hospital and Emily Beck MSN-Ed, RN, a nurse educator with The James Cancer Hospital presented how they use the HESS at a meeting of the ANPD (Association for Nursing Professional Development) Central Ohio Affiliate.

Kristi and Emily have different backgrounds and styles, so the two presentations are a nice example of how the HESS can augment a nurse educator's efforts in a wide variety of ways.

Here is the "synopsis" video link of both Kristi's and Emily's presentations (10 min):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX9GeiafgWE

And here is the video link of the full session (36 min):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfs43e57FYM

Kristi's usage was geared toward providing an active learning approach in a classroom style - for when a group of learners is attending a formal training session. In this case, Kristi's usage also highlights the flexibility of the HESS since it illustrates reaching learners via Zoom in a socially distant fashion.

Emily's usage was live and "in-situ" right in the units - illustrating a very powerful capability of the HESS. The "Mobile Education Cart with HESS Monitor" that Emily and her team created is a very powerful and cost effective way to deliver quality active learning exercises without taking learners away from the bedside.

Finally, Kristi and Emily discuss the importance of the HESS being the "affordable, portable HESS" - and how the affordability and portability contributed significantly to their ability to adopt and implement the HESS in their respective environments.

Thanks Kristi! Thanks Emily!
