Hi Judy I will try to answer question 1 There were 13 (or more) TBL nurse educators at the TBL conference last week Loretta Whitehorne - Canadian Registered Nurses Professional Development Centre Charlene Strumpel University of British Columbia Okanogan Campus Michele Clark University of Nevada at Las Vegas Judy Currey Deakin University Barbara Fagan Registered Nurses Professional Development Center Gail Feigenbaum Central New Mexico Community College Irene Fensom University of British Columbia Okanogan Campus Kim Hall Nebraska Methodist College Elizabeth Oldland Deakin University Anne Schoening Creighton University Sue Selde Creighton University Mary King UT Austin Heidi Mennenga South Dakota State University ################# As for Canadians, Loretta Whitehorne - Canadian Registered Nurses Professional Development Centre Charlene Strumpel University of British Columbia Okanogan Campus Irene Fensom University of British Columbia Okanogan Campus I am working with Loretta for the next couple of years as part of the TBLC Train the Trainer.....she might be your most local resource I donıt know Charlene and Irene....even though they are from my institution (different campus).....they did present a poster at the TBL conference ################# Locally at UBC-Vancouver, we had our first TBL course in Nursing about 5 years ago....a graduate course in research methods led by Pam Ratner. Interest locally from our Nursing School has increased and we will have 2 TBL courses this fall...... the Introduction to elder care and another course on research methods/evidence based practice. In fact yesterday was our kick of meeting for planning the elder care course (course has 120 students). Further afield, Judy Currey and Elizabeth Oldland at Deakin have been using TBL for some time in their nursing program. Gail Feigenbaum at Central New Mexico Community College has years of experience, and Michele Clark is very helpful as well (she is Ruth Levine trained...so she is good) I donıt know the other people that much....I suspect there are more stars lurking out there :-) Locally, we are having monthly working meetings to work/develop the Nursing Courses (I used this process with a number of faculty at the University of Wisconsin last summer).....if you want to have some informal consultative help with the development...let me know....we can talk on the phone or video-conference Take Care Jim From: Judy Buchanan <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Judy Buchanan <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 08:54:08 -0400 To: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: TBL in Nursing Programs Hello, I have two queries and am hoping that I can get some help via this listserve. 1. Iım wondering if anyone has information on university nursing programs that are using TBL. Iım most interested in those from Canadian universities, but not to the point of narrowing my search down to that degree of specificity. 2. Iım also looking for information on any health professions programs that use TBL for clinical teaching in practice environments (especially in-patient settings) Thank you in advance for any assistance with either or both of these issues.
