Intervention: The NurseLead in Progress Game
Description: Developed collaboratively by the author and a company, this unpublished game focuses on role-playing leader-follower interactions to navigate scenarios effectively. Designed for five students per session, the game consists of five sections, lasting approximately one hour, with each section corresponding to one of the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. In each section, one student takes on the role of leader while the other four act as followers. The main objective is to guide a newly appointed charge nurse in making sound decisions when facing challenges to achieve key goals. Following the game, a debriefing session will allow participants to analyze responses with experts. Performance will not be formally evaluated, as the game serves as a learning experience, enabling students to lead and engage as followers. This activity aims to activate the experiential learning phase of Kolb's Learning Model.
