As I am not sure where to post this, this seems like a good spot even if the post was in 2007.

I am at university enrolled in the Bcur et admin, first year is nursing education, second year is nursing administration and I will finish the degree with ICU.

My frustration is that the guidance is nil, statement made this is adult education, Huh, do adults not need guidance?

We the first years were given cell numbers of mentors, well mine must has vanished, no mentor in sight.

I was trying to form a study group via the internet, no go, most students do not have computers.

The university web site is easy enough to get onto, they have in operation edulink, it takes 5-10 minutes to move from one page to the next.

Any library access is denied and I have contacted them for information,

so this course has started with a bang.

So after my moans and woes are there any takers, to give advice.

My assignment topic is Design a realistic student recruitment and selection strategy for basic comprehensive course.

Basic comprehensive is general, midwifery, psychiatric, and community, my assignment is in actual fact finished, but am so unsure that it is correct, they is no one to proof read this or give guidance at all. I contacted people at my nursing college, through whom I will be doing my practical teaching. VickyRN on this web is a star was looking for information and it was supplied thanks to her. Our text books are only authors from our country, which is an open ended answer I think.

I was very relectant to post anything as I see the qualifications, that are displayed and I would not like to offend anyone.

We are currently learning about the reflective teacher, adolescents as reflective practioners, a constructivistic perspective on learning sciences, didactics as a science and all the words that go with didactics, would I need to apply these to the assignment, " design a realistic student recruitment and selection strategy for a basic comprehensive coures", and if so where would I begin? The reason for being cautious I saw a student hand in her assignment to the Professor way before the time, and before modules for that subject were completed, the Prof raised her eyebrows and so I wondered if there was more to the assignment than what meets the eye. Words from the lecturer's are "remember you are dealing with nursing education."

Thanks
