Fun Activity to Enhance Clinical Practice: Bingo!

Nurse Educator Tips for Teaching

Adjunct clinical faculty play a vital role in ensuring an adequate number of instructors for nursing students. Dr. Bryce Catarelli and Professor Karen Schofield describe a clinical bingo game they developed for first-semester nursing students and clinical faculty to serve as a guide for the hospital experience. Each space on the bingo card is a skill practiced in laboratory/simulation or an action that is appropriate for students' ability and level of education. Each skill is signed off on completion, creating a log of skills/actions performed by the student. Their article provides additional details about their bingo game.
