AURORA, Colo. (April 19, 2021) – When COVID-19 swept across the world and wreaked havoc, students everywhere faced missing classes and graduation. But not in one program at the University of Colorado College of Nursing. Kim Paxton, DNP, APRN, developed a high-fidelity virtual simulation so nursing students could continue to learn reasoning skills, earn clinical hours, and attend their commencement ceremony. Then, she shared her patient simulations with other faculty so they could also use it to help students. Her creativity and generosity are why Dr. Paxton was named ‘2021 Nurse Educator of the Year.’
