Article Abstract
Background: Nursing education is transitioning to competency-based education (CBE). A key principle of CBE is scaffolding curricula from simple to complex to facilitate student learning.
Problem: There is no standardized method of scaffolding nurse practitioner (NP) curricula.
Approach: A workgroup of NP educators analyzed visit types-such as wellness, acute, chronic, and transition of care visits-to determine the appropriate placement of case scenarios for early, middle, or late-stage learners. Each case was then aligned with the educational preparation requirements for specific NP populations to identify which populations would benefit most from the scenario.
Outcomes: A structured classification system, using predefined criteria, was developed to scaffold case scenarios in NP education. This systematic arrangement supports the implementation of CBE and facilitates learning.
Conclusions: The scaffolding model can be used with a variety of learning resources and provides a standardized method for scaling complexity within NP curricula.

Background: To help reduce mental health disparities in the transgender and gender diverse (TGD) population, there is a need to equip future psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) with affirming care competence.
Method: This study evaluated a multimodal education program that combined eLearning with two virtual standardized patient (SP) simulations to teach PMHNP students to provide affirming mental health care to TGD people.

Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant are at risk for significant morbidity and mortality throughout their treatment course. The aim of this evidence-based practice project was to determine if the use of a palliative care trigger tool impacted the number of palliative care consults and/or the early integration of palliative care services within the pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patient population. A trigger tool was developed to identify patients at highest risk for stem cell transplant-associated morbidity and mortality.

Background: Serious illness communication skills (SICS) are essential competencies for clinicians to possess. Unfortunately, SICS teaching is not routinely taught and many clinician teachers (CTs) never received training on how to teach them. We funded two cohorts of CTs to learn an evidence-based approach to SICS teaching to scale a unified approach to such training.
