Abstract
Assistant Professor of Clinical Nursing at Columbia University School of Nursing (CUSON) Mary Johnson, DNP, ACNP-BC, was selected as a Fulbright Specialist in the host institution of Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (HiOA). The main purpose of the project was to strengthen and enhance collaboration between HiOA and CUSON related to simulation pedagogy and acute care practice. Falling within the mission of Columbia’s WHO Collaborating Center for Advanced Practice Nursing, the two universities signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2009 and have collaborated in several areas: master’s students exchanges; faculty visits; presentations at academic conferences; and development of a multicountry network, IRIS, which focuses on opportunities for postbaccalaureate students and faculty between the United States and Europe. The specific goal for Dr. Johnson was to move beyond the level of “visits” to focus on areas of acute care nursing, simulation pedagogy, and development of common cases that can be used to compare student work and teaching methods in both institutions. This Fulbright program also provided Dr. Johnson with a better understanding of the Norwegian health care system, hospitals, and the role of the acute care practitioner—essential information for future advisement of visiting HiOA students to the United States.
