I haven't begun my nursing classes yet, but I can tell you what impresses me in an instructor. The very fact of you asking for input is a very positive sign. I'm sure you will do great and people will see you as a role model. Please do what you say Please treat me as an adult, I will do the same for you. If I don't deserve to be treated that way pull me aside and tell me privately. If I don't understand something, explain, don't belittle. When it comes time for testing don't say study the chapter unless you are testing on the whole chapter. Tell us about the mistakes you have made and how you overcame them. Encourage, encourage, encourage. Doing what you are doing is an awesome way to be the best instructor possible. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that I am lucky enough to find some instructors who care as much as you.
