Accommodations in Nursing: Addressing Barriers for Individuals with Physical Disabilities

Friday May 9, 2025 9:00am - 9:50am EDT

This IRB approved study explored the experience of those students with physical disabilities during nursing school. Through qualitative research, interviews were conducted to identify themes related to disclosure of disabilities, available accommodations, and practice implications. Overarching themes identified included: disclosure, advocacy, appreciation, overcoming barriers, and flexibility vs boundaries. During this presentation, research findings will be reviewed and a facilitated discussion will explore strategies for successful interaction between faculty and students with disabilities.

COVID Teaching Plan: To the Rescue?

Friday May 9, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am EDT

TBA

The COVID pandemic disrupted teaching and learning along with most of daily life. In response, teachers made many adaptations to teaching strategies to accommodate imposed limits to in-person teaching. Retrospectively, we also learned of the negative impacts to many students and faculty – higher rates of anxiety, depression, and impacts on academics. Winter 2025, I was sick for much of the first part of the semester. I was able to continue teaching by using strategies I developed during the COVID shutdown. However, I was left wondering if my students were impacted in ways that I could not easily identify.

"It's what you answer to": Value of, and Methods for Learning Student Names

Friday May 9, 2025 10:40am - 11:30am EDT

TBA

“It ain’t what they call you, it’s what you answer to.” To create an inclusive classroom, it is important that we know our students’ names. Knowing students’ names is a sign of respect and a tool for inclusiveness. The session leaders will present research and concepts that address the importance of names. Then, they will lead a discussion that draws out the many ways the session participants learn their students' names. Finally, we will lead session participants in brainstorming additional ways to learn students' names. Participants should come away from the session knowing what students will “answer to”
