Leading Change Through Innovation
Intro Paragraph
This section captures how I’ve led or contributed to change initiatives in nursing education. Using leadership frameworks like Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, I’ve developed practical strategies for transforming programs, engaging faculty, and improving student outcomes.
Case Study 1: Implementing Simulation-Based Assessment
- Background: As clinical coordinator, I noticed gaps in how students developed clinical judgment.
- Intervention: Led a pilot using high-fidelity simulations with real-time debrief.
- Framework: Kotter’s Step 1–4 (Creating urgency, coalition, vision, communication)
- Impact: Improved NCLEX-RN practice scores and faculty buy-in.
- Interactive Idea: Include a flowchart of your change process or short video walkthrough.
Case Study 2: Faculty Development Series
- Background: Faculty lacked formal pedagogical training.
- Initiative: Created and led a monthly workshop on active learning and assessment strategies.
- Impact: Higher student engagement scores and peer collaboration.
- Reflection: This experience taught me the importance of distributed leadership and fostering a shared vision among colleagues.
