Shortage of Nsg Faculty and now I know why

I found the Gaberson and Oermann really helpful, down to earth and pratical to use. Clinical teaching strategies in nursing.

It has actual strategies, not theories, including things such as how to contact and get in with the staff nurses you will interacting with, and how to let them know what to expect.

Not all classes or clinical groups are that bad, I think you just got a bad first experience. My first clinical group was great, enthusiatic and intelligent. The last one I was in on just seemed slow by comparison. Now in classroom, it's just like livetolearn says, all you can do is present it, can't force them to absorb and use it.

Hope your next group is better! And remember, you can dismiss anyone for the day that isn't performing, prepared and polite.
