Reviewing simulation scenarios

/in /by

1. You have developed a very robust implementation strategy here.  In relation to reviewing simulation scenarios, how will this be integrated to provide a supportive and effective learning strategy for the students.  You mention that you will have the support of the simulation lab technician, but have you developed strategy or carved out time for debriefing sessions or peer to peer evaluation of the learning events?  I understand you are collecting the data, but this can support a more enhanced experience and improved comprehension for the students, and drive positive data. Thoughts?

2.  Although you have focused your change project on building a higher quality program to support nursing skills and clinical practice, what aspects of this change have you approached from quality standpoint?  Were you able to include the organizational quality team as stakeholders to support your change plan development?  They have so many resources on to support skill, quality, and regulatory guidelines.  What seat did this team have in the development of your change project plans?  How will they continue to be involved?

Funding through Grants

Funding through Grants

 

Budgeting in human services organizations brings about many challenges. Human services agencies must be creative in managing their budget due to the increased demands on the agency and the needs of the clients and stakeholders. There are many legal, contractual, and other requirements under the concept of financial management, as such agency administrators need to be creative to obtain funding. Applying for grants in both the private and public sectors is one access to funding resources. Most grants will require that you present a proposed budget for use of the funds. Thus, grants and budgeting often go hand in hand.

For this Discussion, think about grant writing and the elements needed to write a successful grant. Then, review sample grants at https://grantspace.org/resources/sample-documents/. Identify one grant to discuss.
