Support
This web application aims to help a Nursing Educator to individualize the Learner’s experience on orientation by focusing on measuring their progress to create a clinical judgment pathway. It also helps the educator identify patterns that support improving curriculum to better meet fluctuating needs. Finally, the tool assists the educator in communicating the Return on Investment to organization leaders.
