This week was my first week as a Education Staff Manager. I have been an RN since 2007, but spent most of my nursing career teaching. I am very excited about my new position, however unfamiliarity brings anxiety. I feel as though I am starting from scratch reviewing charts, care plans, progress notes etc. Since the nursing home did not have a educator for a while, I have to inservice the staff on various topics. What creative teaching methods should I use? Where should I go for information? Should I create my own teaching tools? How often do I inservice the staff? Please share with me any information that you think will make me successful in this new position.
