Team-Based Learning: Peer Perspectives About Navigating Nursing School

The Peer Perspectives About Navigating Nursing School (PANNS) project focuses on developing nursing students' leadership skills, emphasizing teamwork, collaborative leadership, communication, and reflection through a unique group project platform.

In team format, senior-level baccalaureate nursing students created a video resource offering first-year nursing students' guidance on how to be successful in nursing school. The teams collaborated to set objectives, develop content, delegate tasks, and provide peer feedback, reinforcing essential teamwork skills.

Students gained valuable insights on leadership, strengthened their teamwork and communication skills, and acknowledged collaborative challenges, resulting in greater confidence and improved conflict resolution skills as reflected in the feedback.

By participating in PANNS, nursing students developed enhanced leadership, communication, and conflict-resolution skills, preparing them for real-world teamwork. Engaging in shared decision making, conflict management, and effective communication provided practical experiences for building leadership skills.
