    BigBadInstructor replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    BigBadInstructor replied to scarlett o'hairy's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Welcome to the world of nursing instructors! It's scary, its fun, and it's mostly a roller coaster. First word of advice: Get a mentor! Find someone who can tell you how things work at your...

  6. New to teaching pharmacology

    BigBadInstructor replied to indagenes's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have been teaching pharmacology since 1994, every fall and spring semester. The best advice I can give is to be enthusiastic when teaching. Pharmacology can be a very dry subject! I teach according...

    Hi 83StudentNurse - There was a lot of education curriculum at Nebraska Methodist, but that was what I was looking for, since I teach nursing. But there was enough of the advanced nursing to keep you...

    BigBadInstructor replied to HEYOU 2's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You might try an inter-library loan video from other colleges in your area; it may take several days but could help until you get your own video. Also try the ER at your local hospital; a lot of times...

  12. Geriatric Nursing Course

    BigBadInstructor replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I also teach a gerontolgy course that is 2 hours a week, and you are right to anticipate the need to limit what you will teach. I would also add the sexuality of the older adult. Since this is the age...
