That's disgraceful (and not required??? I'm surprised. Was this an accredited school?)

Any time I get tired or discouraged I think of what I look like through the eyes of my students, that helps smarten me up.

I find that to be a useful tool as well. They have high expectations of us, and expect us to share our experiences with them. They need to be somewhat current, involving current, evidence-based practice.

I just began my career in Academia (only doing adjunct clinicals) and currently could not survive on that $$ alone. I'm also 31, so it's not a chore to be on the floor. But I could see the temptation of eventually letting it go.

What are your expectations of the students? What are your expectations? We want to do it all. We are motivated and consider ourselves high achiever. We want students to succeed but at what cost?

I just finished my 1st semester of teaching ADN students. To seasoned faculty, what did you do for your second semester to engage students? What are you doing today to engage students? Do you use powerpoint? After teaching 2 rotations, I'm not sure if I like powerpoint. I felt confined, restrained. What do you use for lectures? I would like to hear from others- novices to experts.

I have continued to work part time in different clinics. I have not worked on a regular med surg unit for about four years. What is the thought on instructors working vs. not working?

could you please help me with the content of med surg. Is there a manual I can use to help me teach the content without tears?.

Let me introduce myself: I have been an ADN nurse educator in a small community college in North Carolina for the past two years. My areas of specialty are medical-surgical, OBGYN and immediate newborn, and cardiac nursing. In addition to teaching, I conduct clinicals on general medical-surgical, PEDS, postpartum, and cardiac stepdown units. Along with being a full time nursing instructor, I am working on my Masters in Nursing Education. I am enrolled in a fully online curricula and have been very satisfied with this so far.
I have learned much these past two years but, I have so much more to learn! I look forward to hearing from you.

:hatparty: could you please reccommend an online program for me?.I am interested in Nursing Education. Thanks
