Nursing Teaching Plan

You ought to be able to look up your topic in your psych text to learn about its basics-- cause, evaluation, goals of treatment, usual course, etc., then translate that into lay language. You shouldn't need to copy something-- use your words, use your choice of organization structure.

Yep, it's more work, but you'll learn a lot more doing it that way than by having someone hand you one already done.

I don't think there are any examples that you should copy because each one is going to be different based on how that student was instructed to write it. First, you should check with your instructor or syllabus to see if there are specifications like APA format or a grading rubric to follow.

Do they want it in narrative paragraphs, or headings, or tables? Do you have to prove a knowledge deficit or just pick a topic at random? Do you have to show how you'll evaluate your patient has learned? It will be easier to pick a topic you can narrow down to something specific, like a newly prescribed medication for someone with bipolar disorder vs. something as broad as schizophrenia. You could be writing for days to try to cover everything.

Make sure to use simple terms as if you were teaching someone with no previous medical knowledge. If you're doing it for psych, you'll need to account for any learning barriers also.

lolaviex, I actually had come on here because my instructor gave me no direction :/ I had NO clue what I was supposed to be doing or what a teaching plan even looked like. I did narrative paragraphs because that was the only way that made sense. Come to find out? I did it way wrong, kind of in a good way... I over did it, leaving it 10 pages long! But this instructor doesn't like "long"... so in this case it was a bad thing lol. I wrote about bipolar recently diagnosed, with medications lamictal, seroquel and lithium. I taught on those three meds as well as how to manage the bipolar and what it is. ugh, we'll see how it went. Thanks for your input it's greatly appreciated! :)
