Abstract

Background

Due to rigorous nursing courses, students often feel overwhelmed and struggle to meet workload expectations. Students need guidance with content and studying.

Innovation

Faculty designed a Student Success Lab (SSL) to support all students, not just those at risk of failing, with a dedicated place to study with senior-level nursing student peer tutors and a dedicated faculty tutor. Students were surveyed regarding their participation and satisfaction with the SSL.

Implications

Approximately 60% of the program’s nursing students utilized SSL. Of those who used the lab, 50% stated that using the tutors increased their understanding of the material. Some reported that the lab hours could be adjusted to accommodate students’ schedules.

Conclusion

Many nursing students utilize SSL and report its benefits to their learning. The hours of the SSL have been increased, and the training for tutors has been structured. To date, the university’s implementation of SSL has been successful.

护理学生洞察同伴和教师主导的学习会议的有效性

由于严格的护理课程，学生经常感到不堪重负，难以达到预期的工作量。学生需要内容和学习方面的指导。InnovationFaculty设计了一个学生成功实验室（SSL）来支持所有学生，而不仅仅是那些有失败风险的学生，有一个专门的地方与高级护理学生同伴导师和专门的教师导师一起学习。调查了学生对SSL的参与和满意度。大约60%的项目护理学生使用SSL。在使用实验室的学生中，50%的人表示使用导师增加了他们对材料的理解。一些人报告说，实验时间可以调整，以适应学生的时间表。结论许多护生使用SSL，并报告其对学习的益处。SSL的课时增加了，对导师的培训也安排好了。到目前为止，该大学对SSL的实施是成功的。
