Salina, applying learned concepts in a variety of ways teaches and reinforces critical thinking skills.

I like the event cards, they provide critical-thinking scenarios
I have incorporated NCLEX and Fundamentals review as part of my pre and post-conference at clinical.
What I see with the current NCLEX exam is that a large portion of questions are based on concepts from Fundamentals, and they're all related to safety. Our students take Fundamentals in the first module but then take their NCLEX a year or more later.
To me, it makes sense to keep reviewing and reinforcing those basic concepts so students can pass their licensure exam on the first attempt.

I like the event cards. They have been especially helpful in the ob rotation, when it may be slow.
Hudson, safety is a priority on NCLEX, so reinforcing it is essential.

I do a skit involving the students where they have to dress up in costumes to mimic antibodies and antigens and they seem to love it.
Anita , this sounds both interesting and engaging.

I have not used any of these, however if I were, event cards seems most applicable.
case studies are great and keep the student engaged by allowing them to come up with a treatment plan based on what they have learned up to that point. Makes it more realistic.
