9:00 am – 10:30 am 1.5 contact hours Bringing Just Culture Principles to Nursing Education: Supporting Practice Readiness For years, healthcare has had a shame and blame focus when errors occur, blaming an individual and assigning discipline. Research demonstrates that most errors have many contributing factors and it is rarely the fault of a single individual. While practice has moved toward just culture principles, nursing education has not, frequently demonstrating a punitive response to student error. This presentation will provide strategies to bridge this academic-practice gap, applying just culture principles in the academic setting.
