Who is it for?

This module is designed for nurses and nursing students to prepare for the challenges of interprofessional work, helping them to enhance their communication and collaboration skills.

While this module is tailored around the daily lives and responsibilities of nurses, other healthcare staff and students may find the tools useful and applicable to their own roles.

Scenario

Guided by two virtual coaches, Nurse Sam and Nurse Carlos, learners will discover how to proactively give and receive affirming Task Assistance. Beginning with an observation activity where learners will observe Nurse Kayla and her team, learners will then engage in a practice activity where they will apply what they've learned.
