QSEN Profile - Pamela R. Jeffries

Pamela R. Jeffries, DNS, RN, FAAN, ANEF

Associate Dean of Academic Affairs
Johns Hopkins University, School of Nursing
Baltimore, Maryland

Program Experience

BSN, RN-BSN, Accelerated BSN, Graduate (MSN, DNP, and PhD)

QSEN Expertise

I have experience in curricular innovations, e.g. developing a DEU/PEP unit, working with our clinical agency to provide educators, incorporating clinical simulations into the curriculum; faculty development for the simulation pedagogy; was Project Director for the 1^st and 2^nd NLN grant- second one focused on faculty development; have done T-L assessments

Competency Expertise

Teamwork, collaboration, Quality Improvement, Safety, and informatics

Teaching Expertise

Simulations, Clinical teaching, skills, and classroom (both small and large classroom instruction) in addition to online development and teaching/learning

Research Expertise

I helped to facilitate development of an interdisciplinary curriculum and simulation scenarios that were based around patient safety; in addition, the new NLN simulation scenarios we developed and reviewed included the patient safety competencies with debriefing questions on safety developed around the QSEN work.
