I'd love to hear about "Slides with Friends". I design education and training for our remote team of telephone triage nurses. I'm always looking for new and engaging virtual learning activities.

Hi Sharon
Just like everyone else, I'm also very interested in how your vaccine escape room works and would love to take a look at it if you're willing to share. We've created a couple of Kahoots on a free trial basis for a small group of nurses and have also used "Slides with Friends" for some interactive sessions. I'm not much help to you when it comes to virtual training, as we don't currently offer it.

Hello Cindy,
Our education team has created an escape room for vaccines. We are looking for out-of-the-box ideas. Our clinics are spread over 2 states. We're considering apps like Kahoot and Mentimeter to make our sessions more inclusive, covering all our clinics, including remote locations.
The majority of our training is virtual. Clinical new hire orientation, quarterly education, and some of our requested education training based on the needs. Our clinical new hire orientation includes case studies, clinical scenarios, annotation, and Jeopardy. We teach the staff to use Teams to share their screen, raise hand, and use emojis for interacting. We do have new hire in person skills weekly and staff are assigned a location to meet with one of our educators. We conduct in person educational site visits, and during the site visit, the educator will review the in person skills topics at that time.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if there's anything I can help with.
Thank you,

Hi Sharon,
How timely! We are actually starting on drafting ideas on how to do an escape room for the care of an ambulatory patient; however it will be in person. I would love to know how you plan to make this a virtual option. May I also inquire what other virtual trainings you offer? With our growing organization, it is becoming more challenging to do in person education.
Thank you,
Cindy
