Nursing skill competitions are the wind vane for clinical nursing development, and the teaching concepts, proposition forms, and evaluation systems demonstrated by competitions have a strong reference value for nursing teaching. This article introduces the knowledge selection and integration from nursing-related courses according to the problems and objectives to be solved by drawing on the STEM education concept in comprehensive nursing practical training in the context of integration of competition and education. Realistic problem scenarios can be created with clinical cases as the carrier or main line, and then the Tanner clinical judgment model is used to guide students to conduct a comprehensive analysis of cases, thereby helping students to develop clinical thinking ability and comprehensive practical skills, so as to bridge the gap between the contents learned at school and nursing work in clinical practice and help nursing students adapt to clinical practice as soon as possible.

Objective To explore the effect of the modular teaching for nursing students based on WeChat in the comprehensive training before the practice.Methods The undergraduate students of nursing were randomly divided into 5 classes,among which class 1,2,3 as the control group,and class 4,5 as the experimental group.The control group used the traditional ‘Case Teaching Method',taking the group as a unit to practice the clinical nursing skills individually;while the experimental group took the method which integrated individual nursing skills and practical materials with humanistic qualities in clinical cases.They conducted practical training by dividing the learning module with the ‘representative patients',using WeChat as the learning and exchange platform andbuilding modular training model.After the training,the results were evaluated by the score sheet for integrated skills,a critical-thinking scale and the learning model questionnaire.The data was analyzed by T-Test and Chi-Square inspection.Results All of the nursing students were willing to use WeChat for autonomous learning.The scores of the nursing students in the experimental group were higher than those in control group in the abilities of judgement,communication,operation and introspection.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).In addition to the cognitive maturity,the scores of experimental group were higher than those in control group in the searching for truth,opening mind,abilities of analysis and integration and self-confidence in critical thinking and desire for knowledge,The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);Also the proportion of experimental group was higher than the control group in students' attitude to study,knowledge acquisition and practical training mode.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The implementation of nodular teaching mode based on WeChat is beneficial to improve the clinical comprehensive ability of nursing students,and help to train the high quality nursing talents who meet the needs of clinical practice.

Objective:To study the application effect of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE)-based situational simulation case teaching on Nursing Fundamentals practical training. Methods:Using convenient sampling method, two undergraduate nursing classes of Batch 2018 in Hubei University of Chinese Medicine were chosen as the study objects. They were divided into observation group with 45 students and control group with 43 students through ball touching method. The control group used traditional teaching method, on this basis, the observation group used OSCE-based situational simulation case teaching. At the end of the semester, the results of theoretical assessment, operational skills assessment, humanistic care, health education achievements of the two groups of nursing students and students’ evaluation of the new teaching method in the observation group. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test. Results:The sores of theoretical assessment, operational skills and humanistic care assessment in the observation group were (81.01±8.53), (92.69±3.87) and (11.73±1.59), and the corresponding sores in control group were (76.94±9.74), (91.21±2.70) and (10.79±1.36). The nursing students in the observation group had significantly higher scores than the control group in above mentioned aspects ( P<0.05). In the observation group, 45 students (100.0%) believed that this teaching method could stimulate learning interest and comprehensively deal with clinical problems, 43 students (95.6%) thought that this teaching method could improve team cooperation ability, only one person (2.2%) did not agree that this teaching method could help to form critical thinking, and 42 students (93.3%) said that the teaching hours of this teaching method could be appropriately increased. Conclusion:The OSCE-based situational simulation case teaching may effectively improve the teaching quality of the nursing students and mobilize their learning activities.
