Newbie clinical educator would appreciate any help you can give her!
Hi! I was just hired for a clinical instructor position in an ADN program. I have been in the nursing field for many years, but have been out of "clinical" nursing for a couple of years. I taught student nurses in an ADN and a BSN program (didactic and sim lab), and have precepted nurses for many years (
though about 5 years ago) in the clinical arena. So...
I am pretty nervous about several things-
1. Going back to the clinical arena, though I am also looking forward to it as I need/want to get back into it. I am sure it is like getting back on and riding a bike after some time of not doing it, right??? Also, I hope that I am not overestimating my ability to jump right back in after being away for the clinical arena for awhile??? Please tell me what you think.
Also, I noticed that several of you are willing to share paperwork, but we have to email you to get it. Since I just joined, I guess I am not allowed to email anyone until I have put in 15 posts. So, could anyone who has clinical info that they are willing to email, please send it to me? If you cannot send it to my site here on allnurses, I am willing to give you my email address to email it to. Please let me know!
Also, I will be teaching students are both end of the spectrum- beginning and seniors. Any pointers on anything would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance for your help!
