Creative Nursing Education in the Lab and Clinical Settings

Washtenaw Community College

Ann Arbor, MI

Friday, May 29, 2009

DESCRIPTION

This workshop provides nurse educators with over 45 strategies to use in the clinical area and nursing laboratory to inspire student learning. The strategies are quick, easy to implement, and can be transferred to a wide range of teaching topics. As educators, we aspire to connect with our students and "turn them on" to learning and to our content. The best way to accomplish this is to create an active, learner-centered environment which captures each student's attention, helps students remember material, inspires critical thinking, and is FUN! Creative strategies, integrated throughout learning environments, are effective in increasing students' attending to and retaining information. This workshop may be combined with the Creative Nursing Education in the Classroom workshop for a comprehensive nursing educational experience for novice or experienced educators in schools of nursing, allied health programs, or clinical settings. .
