Greetings!
We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming collaborative conversation, How Long Until They’re Safe? Accelerating competence in the first two years of nursing practice. In this meeting, Dr. Julie Siemers, DNP, MSN, RN, will explore how we can accelerate competence in the first two years of nursing practice. Bring your questions: you’re welcome to ask them during the presentation, and we’ll include a few polling questions for interaction.
Date: Tuesday, November 24th
Time: Noon CT (10 am PT, 11 am MT, 1 pm ET)
Length: 60 minutes
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1) Explain why time in practice is a proxy for nursing clinical judgment.
2) Apply a physiologic framework to a published failure-to-rescue case to distinguish compensation from decompensation and identify the point at which recognition failed.
3) Identify actions within risk management’s control - case-review questions, near-miss debriefing, node-based case coding and just culture - that accelerate safe clinical judgment in new nurses.
About Dr. Julie Siemers:
Dr. Julie Siemers brings more than four decades of clinical, academic, and executive experience to the question of why patients deteriorate without anyone noticing in time.
Her clinical background is in critical care and flight nursing. Her doctoral research focused on failure to rescue — the death of a patient whose complication was, in principle, survivable — and the recognition gap that precedes it. For the past seventeen years she has worked in health professions education, currently as a campus executive director and professor, leading institutions through significant academic and operational change.
She is the founder of Lifebeat Solutions and the creator of the Patient Safety Standard™ curriculum and the Clinical Judgment & Safety Method™, built around physiologic concept frameworks that teach learners to locate where a process has failed rather than to memorize what individual diseases look like. The approach is deliberately discipline-agnostic: a deteriorating patient produces the same findings regardless of who walks into the room.
Dr. Siemers is also the author of Surviving Your Hospital Stay: A Nurse Educator’s Guide to Staying Safe and Living to Tell About It, written to help patients and families advocate for themselves.
