This work aims to share with fellow nurse educators skills that may help maximize the limited clinical opportunities facing nursing education programs. The presenters will share the benefits of curriculum changes, which include an increased emphasis on mental health nursing, the restructuring of the clinical hours, and weekly mental health skills labs. Innovative teaching modalities that targeted the affective domain were interwoven throughout the prelicensure nursing curriculum. A campus-based mental health lab with interactive learning exercises yielded an increased standardized test score, student satisfaction, and positive feedback and attitudes toward mental health nursing.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will identify alternative clinical activities to increase student understanding of content, student satisfaction, and greater understanding of the challenges of working with underserved populations.
  2. Participants will be able to discuss how a curriculum revision yielded increased student standardized testing scores.
  3. Participants will explore teaching strategies that target the affective learning domain.
  4. Participants will be able to locate resources for the integration of dynamic and effective teaching activities.
