New Educator

In March, I completed my MSN/ED. I continued to work at my current job, and picked up a clinical educator position at a local LPN school. Recently, I accepted a full time position at an RN school. I am excited and scared. Any advise for a new instructor?

    I can say as someone that has taught for over 6 years in the clinical setting to pick up a book called "Fast Facts for the Clinical Nursing Instructor: Clinical Teaching in a Nutshell". It is very helpful and consistency with students is key. I would also get to know the Faculty that you are working with and have them help you integrate into your system at your school, since academia is very different than the hospital setting. Good luck and have fun!

    I've found that if I start out very strict I can ease up later. It doesn't work the other way around...

    Don't take it personally when you tell people over and over how to write a paper, your expectations, what to do.... and have at least 3 get it wrong and want to know why you didn't tell them that before...... I used to get frustrated, but you know what? I tried!

    What Whispera said, doubled!

    JBudd...every semester I emphasize one thing over and over and over, and still some don't get it. I think I must speak a foreign language sometimes! This isn't a difficult concept either! One time in class I asked for a response that would indicate someone knew what I meant, and got the "deer in headlights" look.... I said I was thinking of bopping them upside the heads.... They laughed but still it took awhile to get a correct answer!
