In a recent academic exchange between Ohio State University (OSU) and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) College of Nursing, both institutions have made significant strides in enhancing nursing education and clinical practice. The two-week event, from July 11 to July 22, showcased four key highlights that underscore the importance of global collaboration in nursing.
1. Dynamic Evidence-Based Nursing Workshop:
Four distinguished professors from OSU-Dianne Morrison-Beedy, Stephen McGhee, Randee Masciola, and Cindy Zellefrow-conducted an engaging Evidence-Based Nursing workshop at NYCU. The workshop, attended by graduate students and clinical nurses, focused on the latest advancements in evidence-based practices and their translation into clinical applications. The lively discussions and hands-on approach enriched participants' understanding and fostered a collaborative learning environment.
2. Cross-Institutional Distance Learning:
In an innovative approach to doctoral education, students from OSU and NYCU participated in joint classes and group discussions through a distance learning platform as part of the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. This collaborative model has been well-received by students from both institutions, and there are plans to expand this method to other programs within the NYCU College of Nursing. Future collaborations may extend to the Department of Health Innovation at OSU, further enriching the curriculum and research opportunities.
