Blending clinical and technical skills at the bedside.

The brave new world will find a richer blending of clinical and technical skill development as scenario-based simulation training emerges on the web. The benefits of competency assessment, standards-based education, and just-in-time decision-making support will help organizations serve the patient with greater skill. This is the bridge to crossing the quality chasm that exists today. And, it is the promise for a safer tomorrow.

Open exchange as a model for continuing education.

The Global Nursing Exchange is a unique, annual opportunity for a select group of nurses to confer with each other and learn in an unstructured, nonrestrictive forum for free uncensored exchange of ideas. It is an unusual "conference" in that both the structure and process have been designed to encourage spontaneity, creativity, and group sharing. Relaxation and work comingle. Networking, dialog, and inclusiveness are operating themes at all times. Started in 1988 by 9 nurses with a mix of backgrounds and experience, the Global Nursing Exchange has expanded to include international participants. In 2003, over 60 nurses joined in celebrating the 15th year of this group gathering. Examples of outcomes that have resulted from this unique "conferencing" experience are described.
