Workshop 1: Ensuring your manuscript is published: what to write, how to write, and effective responses
Leader: Professor Amanda Kenny La Trobe University, Australia; Editor-in-Chief: Nurse Education Today
As Editor-in-Chief of the world’s leading nurse education journal, I am fortunate to read thousands of manuscripts each year. I describe it as the best professional development anyone can do. Throughout my career, I have had the enormous privilege of reading tens of thousands of manuscripts, reviewer reports, and author responses. Like most editors of high-quality, international journals, I only send a small percentage of submitted manuscripts to review. I can usually tell quickly whether a manuscript will end up being published. In this presentation, you will gain practical insights to ensure your manuscript gets sent to review, key tips on how to ensure the review is positive, and guidance on how to respond to editor and reviewer feedback.
This workshop will help authors to:
Think about publication right back at the study design phase.
Write a manuscript that has a good chance of being published.
Gain insights into the factors that determine whether a manuscript is sent to review.
Prepare for feedback and how to effectively respond.
Workshop 2: Moving past the busyness to build your career
Leader: Professor Amanda Kenny La Trobe University, Australia; Editor-in-Chief: Nurse Education Today
Building a career in nurse education can be challenging. Workloads seem [are] relentless, there are always a million competing priorities, and the to-do list is never complete. Educational research is often viewed as inferior to other types of research and nurse educators are often dismissed as less worthy of accolades. You are often pushed to apply for grants, do research, and publish on top of an already relentless schedule. Amidst this chaos, you are constantly reminded of work-life balance, which I don’t believe in. I do believe that we must take a strategic approach to building a career, but strategy keeps getting pushed to the side because you are so tired.
I was lucky early in my career to have a fabulous mentor who I describe as the world’s greatest strategic thinker and strategist. While that mentoring continues, I have learned an enormous amount from interactions with so many fabulous people about how you build a track record, what is important, and how you fit it all in and maintain a semblance of sanity.
In this hands-on workshop, we will work on your strategy. The workshop is suitable for all career stages, from student to highly experienced, as we share strategic tips, tools, and approaches to developing, building, and maintaining a fabulous career.
The workshop will help participants to:
Understand why I think work-life balance is a fallacy.
Develop, build, and maintain their career using a well-defined strategy.
Develop ways to settle the chaos by using strategic thinking to manage the never-ending workload.
Write effectively for grants, publications, and any other forms of writing.
Build a cohesive track record and a fabulous CV and stay (somewhat) sane.
Workshop 3: Innovation, planning, passion and practice – how to move your ideas to action and get your work published
Leader: Mary Sidebotham Griffith University, Australia; Deputy Editor-in-Chief: Nurse Education in Practice
Every research project starts with a good idea- this interactive workshop will explore how to develop your ideas into a study or project that will lend itself to a publication. The session will provide the opportunity for interactive discussion where you can share your ideas and be guided through practical tips, not just on how to write for publication, but importantly how to plan the work that will then generate your paper and ensure it has an optimum chance of being accepted for publication.
This workshop will help participants to;
Explore how to avoid common pitfalls when planning your work
Know how to create a writing team and work together effectively
Have an understanding what the journal editors are looking for
Understand what the submission/ review process looks like
Know how to respond to reviewer comments efficiently and effectively
Know how to share your success and disseminate your work widely once published
Workshop 4: Innovative, relevant, and purposeful: creating assessment for the real world
Leader: Mary Sidebotham Griffith University, Australia; Deputy Editor-in-Chief: Nurse Education in Practice
Are you passionate about assessment design – do you enjoy creating assessment that is engaging and clearly supports the development of deep learning? Are you keen to explore how you can design assessment that students enjoy, and see how completing the assessment becomes less of a task and more of a journey towards professional growth. Do you want the opportunity to hear from others and share your ideas ? If so this interactive workshop is for you.
This workshop will help participants to;
Design assessment that:
Engages students in being active participants in their own learning
Lends it self well to group learning
Makes the task clear and relevant to the student
Is fair and accurately links to the course objectives
Is reproducible but retains unique features (to avoid contract cheating)
Where ever possible uses real world tasks /examples that the student can see the link to the work of nurses and midwives
Uses generative artificial intelligence as a potential aid to learning
Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to;
Share their assessment ideas and get feedback to enable further development
Meet like minded individuals and potentially create an ongoing community of practice

Tuesday 29 October 07.30-08.30am Workshop: Enhancing capstone experiences: tips for developing authentic assessments.
Led by Curtin University
Education is a powerful driver, that can lead to personal and professional development as well as improved health outcomes. Supporting students to translate knowledge to the practice setting can be enhanced when teaching, learning and assessment strategies are authentic and mirror the real-world practice of nursing and midwifery. Capstone experiences play a pivotal role in assisting students to integrate their learning for use in the practice. Project based learning is used to help students integrate and synthesize prior knowledge and learning from multiple and diverse topic areas to devise innovative solutions for real world problems. In addition, project-based learning supports students’ career preparation by promoting professional employability skills.
This workshop will help participants consider:
The development of meaningful capstone experiences that prepare students for practice.
Explore the types of experiences that assist students to develop transferable employment skills needed for the workplace.
Discuss strategies used by the Curtin School of Nursing academics, in creating capstone experiences.
