This is unfortunate. What you describe I believe is an anomaly. The program I teach at is about partnering with the student and doing everything to prepare them for the real world. The instructors are with the student start to finish in cinical, a...
this is great, lots of ideas. I agree that it is good to allow the students to do some self directing in there program. Gives them ownership and hence put more effort and learn more from each other. You have really put so much into this. I also lik...
I would like to concur with Vicki, I was a first year teacher this last quarter but let my personality guide me and was very successful. Setting your standards and verbalizing your expectations are the first thing. You may not know what those are rig...
there is such a warm feeling when you look across at all their faces as you begin to speak. do not let them see you sweat....you are the expert in the room but I found it helpful to temper it with humor. There are a lot of funny stories to share I ...
where are you located? And do you gravitate more to OB or Peds..? I am full time faculty teaching a Maternal Child Health program and my area of interest lies in OB and feel uncomfortable with the peds...but it worked out. My students passed the firs...
I graduated from U of P, but back in 1992, it was an awesome program and I was ready when I graduated to start. It was a close knit program, I think we had only 13 in our class. The off campus clinical rotations were great and very supportive. I h...

Wow...Iwas able to get the 6 students to present the last 6 chapters of the book, how did you accomplish all the chapters that way? VEry interested. I like the idea because I think they learn more. Lynn
Thank you, though clinical is not the problem. Ob is great, and the Peds nurses are awesome and are spending a great deal of time teaching and stretching their minds. I am worried I will not be able to give them the level of instruction since I am n...
Thank you Jess, so I am not imagining the problem..yes it is overwhelming. But I have so baffled the students with my OB knowledge I hope I do as well with the Peds...anyway. I was told, I could not use the nursing program down teh street...I guess ...
the hospital I am doing clincal in is a level one..the peds unit is small so allowed to only float one student over there. So the clinical has not been teh problem really, the nurses are great to assist me, I am worried more about lecture, and lab. ...
Hey there, I am new too. My specialty is OB so that has been a breeze for me, but now the Peds..not my fortee, or have much knowledge except what I remember from my rotation as a student. Help...
Good day, I thought I had posted early but didn't see myself so thought I would try again. I am new to education. I am a CNM and to give my self a break decided to take on a position with a new ADN program as maternal child health educator. Being ...
