BreakoutRN helps nurse educators to engage their students with practical, engaging, ready-to-use teaching tools. There are many resources available, including unfolding case studies delivered as beautifully designed card decks, hands-on tabletop kits, worksheets, templates, and creative activity learning ideas in the Idea Bank (a collection of articles) and the Learning Lab RN podcast. Martha Johnson also hosts the annual Innovative Nurse Educator Summit, where nurse educators collaborate on evidence-informed strategies, find inspiration, and build a sense of community among educators who want their students to be engaged and active in class or clinical settings. It’s teaching support that feels both innovative and fun, instead of overwhelming. An active learning classroom can be built one activity at a time!
