Academic/Practice Innovation: An Interview with Dr. Candice Vaughan Griffin and Dr. Marilyn Oermann

In this episode, Senior Clinical Editor, Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP, CCRN-K, speaks with Dr. Candice Vaughan Griffin, Executive Director of Clinical Education & Professional Development at Banner Health, and Dr. Marilyn Oermann, Thelma M. Ingles Professor of Nursing at Duke University School of Nursing and Editor-in-Chief of Nurse Educator.

Dr. Griffin and Dr. Oermann answer some of the questions that were submitted by attendees of the webinar, Preparing the Next Generation of Practice-Ready Nurses. In this podcast, the following questions are addressed: 

We recognize that graduate nurses are not practice ready when they graduate. One recommendation is to have a shared competency model across education and practice for beginner nurses. Can you tell us more about this idea and why it’s important for both education and practice?  How can education and practice determine these competencies?  Do you think assessing shared competency and clinical judgement is superior to clinical judgement alone when we are looking at practice-readiness?
