Linda Caputi https://lindacaputi.com/ has excellent resources to teach students in the clinical setting. The delegation and prioritization exercise is one that I use every week as directed by the university I teach for.
HOW IT WORKS:
One student is designated as the “charge” student. They are not assigned their own patient, but the student is directed to gather information to complete the exercise for 4 patients. The 4 patients are assigned to some of the other students. They will obtain nursing report from each student, investigate the chart, lay eyes or even assess the patient with the assigned student to complete this exercise. I take this a step further and have the ‘charge’ student check to be sure the other students are doing hourly rounds, have washed patients including hair combed, oral care provided, room tidy and clean and vitals & I/O documented on time. This not only helps me while I am passing medications with other students in the morning, but also provides the ‘charge’ student with the opportunity to assist other students with the care of their patient.

Blood Typing Game! Learning Mode and Game Mode
Cardiac Rhythm Review
Review the syllabus and determine which rhythms the students need to learn. It is important to remember students are often only expected to know basic cardiac rhythms and basic treatments for those rhythms. Game mode includes heart blocks which may be too advanced for some learners. I place a paper over the bottom of the screen that identifies each rhythm. I use this resource for students mostly in ‘learn’ mode using basic rhythms such as SR, ST, SB, SVT, asystole, PVCs, PACs, VT, afib and aflutter.
