    I will have my MSN/Nurse Education 11/30/11. God willing and the creek don't rise. I interviewed yesterday for FT faculty position in an ADN program. I am so excited about the prospect, I don't know what I'll do if it is not offered. I have been reading the posts for tips for the new educator and enjoy the fire that everyone has to shape great nurses. I hope I can officially join the ranks soon and utilize everyone's advice.

    I teach in a LPN program and teach EVERY subject. Needless to say, I don't know them all. I came from trauma, L&D, and ophthomology so I have spent MANY hours over the last 3 years studying myself on things that I was not real familiar with. It has gone well. I also do their clinicals with them. We are on several different floors so I have learn to ask the nurses a lot of questions and they have been great!

    Hello! I am currently a nursing assistant teacher also, in a private school (3 week). I recently applied for a position in a community college as a program director for their nursing assistant training. I want to be able to prove, if interviewed, that I am good enough to be able to supervise their instructors and maintain the best quality program. Also that I am staying up-to-date with current literature, and know the best ways to train adults. I'm just wondering if you know of any more resources I could look to to make sure I am ensuring the best program possible, (in the Geriatrics/LTC forum, it has some resources from Hartman posted, but any others?). Any professional organizations that would be worthwhile joining if I got the job, any place to go to for more networking/getting help from others in the same position? I don't have that much LTC experience also, so keeping up on geriatric/LTC info is a need also. Any "must-have" journals or textbooks? Thanks for any and all advice!

    New here, and won't have a lot of time to just chat, as I am working full time (LPN program, obviously) and am half way through my MSN with an education emphasis. Found the link doing research and needed a break from PubMed for a few minutes![/B]

    Just discovered this faculty thread and want to thank Vicki and all of you for some excellent resources! I have my master's as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I have done ER for 19 years, psych the whole time--per diem, and hospice for many years. I practice as a house-call NP on a per diem basis and just finished my first year of teaching LPNs full-time. I LOVE teaching! I used to teach ACLS and various topics for EMTs, so teaching comes naturally. But, I was stumped as to where to find excellent ideas and resources and all of you have provided so much! I am very grateful to be a part of this group!
