Acquired Capability for Suicide: An Evolutionary Concept Analysis
November 21, 9:00 AM Central
Presenter: Tamara Keefner, PhD, RN, CNE, Department of Nursing University of South Dakota
While virtually all suicide attempters experience ideations, not all who think about suicide will attempt or die by suicide, and not every attempt will result in death by suicide. Identifying and understanding risk factors informing movement from ideation to action is crucial, given that between 2000 and 2020, suicide rates increased by 46% in rural areas compared to 27.3% in urban areas.

Implementation of a Pediatric Simulation Cooperative to Enhance Clinical Self-Efficacy: A Rural Education Initiative
December 11, 3:00 PM Central
Presenter: Cassie Burks, DNP, FNP-BC, RN, CEN, A-EMT, Alissa R. Parrish, DNP, RN, Christy Blount, DNP, FNP-BC, Nichole Blackburn, MSN, RN, University of Tennessee
The collaboration between two rural campuses to provide pediatric simulation training for pre-licensure BSN nursing students was a strategic approach to addressing the challenge of limited pediatric clinical placements in non-urban areas. The findings suggest that collaborative efforts between rural nursing programs can be highly beneficial in providing students with practical learning experiences that boos their clinical self-efficacy.
