i'm taking gi/gu right now and we need to do a teaching plan related to the course. it has to be 5-10minutes and it will be during clinicals in front of our clinical members (~8 people including the professor). what are some ideas i can do that would be very interesting and not boring? like if it's on diabetes, it has to be one part of diabetes, like the food or what causes it.

What ideas do you have? Perhaps if you offer your ideas, we can help you expand upon them.

How about teaching self-care for patient/family going home with a new colostomy, PEG, Foley? Your books should have patient teaching for every type of GI/GU condition, lots of post-surgical; take your pick.

Please thank this nurse for her help. I've said this before, too many students come here, get the answer, and never return until they have more hw.

never asked YOU to do my homework for me. I just wanted some ideas. did I ask YOU to look up information for me and do the presentation? NO. this is a forum where we can help each other out. I'm sure YOU needed some help when you were ONCE A STUDENT. some people are so ignorant.

OP, I see that you are relatively new here. There are many ongoing discussions about this subject: nursing students requesting help with their homework. You must realize that the subject is quite the hot button.

As you might have noticed, I first asked you to give us your own ideas so that we might help you expound upon them. It is your homework and while one of the purposes of this forum is to help each other out, most of us don't feel that "helping out" involves flat-out giving homework answers. However, most of us are quite happy to help a student who brings his/her own ideas to the table and requests help with understanding concepts or taking their ideas to the next step. For example, had you come here with your specific GI/GU ideas for your presentation, having taken the time to do some preliminary research and put some thought into it, lots of posters would have jumped to help you flesh out your ideas.

Having said that, there will always be those who are happy to give you answers without any effort on your part. In my personal opinion, that will do you no favors in the long run. You are in nursing school to learn critical thinking skills and nursing fundamentals. That will not happen if you are spoon-fed answers. Not to mention that you must pass your own tests, check-offs, etc. Yes, of course, we were all students once, but the fact is that most of us likely did our homework without benefit of Allnurses.com.

I hope that I have given you some food for thought, and that you will think twice before calling another poster "ignorant" when she asks you to thank those who help you.

My, My..... aren't we sensitive......?:cool:

I agree with roser13.....It has been my experience also that many come here expecting to be spoon fed and then become defensive and angry when asked to contribute to the discussion. If that was not your intention....fine, but jumping to conclusion and calling experienced nurses willing to help you ignorant and selfish.....is not a way to win friends or influence people.:rolleyes:

Whether or not you were perturbed or not should not prevent you from saying thank you......I tell my kids all the time, manners matter. :smokin:

I guess you got over your shyness issues, good for you! :)

For ideas.....diet modifications for diverticulitis or GB/pancreatitis for a couple of ideas

oooookaaaay.... I don't know what you are asking, someone helped you and I suggested that you say thank you. When I was a student, I used my books, the internet (not Allnurses.com), and my instructors. I NEVER ASKED FOR ANSWERS (only help, pg #s, or clarification that the answers I had were correct, OR if I was headed in the right direction with the informatio I had), and I have excellent critical thinking skills because of it. You got defensive and no one attacked you. EPIC EPIC FAIL on your part. Hope you won't need help anytime soon from any of us. Calm down, it's not that serious - it's just the internet. LoL! Really? Whenever students come here for answers, I say - WOW! People really trust strangers over the internet. Anyone here can tell you anything, does not make the information golden. That is all.

I took a course over the summer prior to getting accepted into the program. One of our homework assignments challengeed me so I Googled a couple of the questions to see if I was on the right path. They had been answered here on allnurses previously, but one of the posters had intentionally put incorrect and sarcastic answers. I was smart enough to not copy the answers posted for my homework. Another student in the class copied the incorrect/sarcastic remarks onto his homework and was called out by the professor in front of the entire class. Not the way I want to meet the head of the nursing program who was teaching the course to all of us hopefuls.
