I am also looking into this and can't seem to find an overall price? I have requested more information, but have not heard back as of yet.

Mike SIE - do you mind if I ask where you find the union jobs? I am not sure if looking if I were to know the difference in Union or not? Thanks -

The practicum is my final project in completion of MSN - Educator degree. I have identified that all of the instructors that I currently work with do not identify with adult centered teaching so after speaking with them, they have asked that I work on a manual to use within our instructors that educates them on some adult centered learning activities to include in lecture. They sit at the desk and read through the book. They are aware that the style is boring, but have stated they are not "educators" and do not know what else to do. The body systems is the next lecture and I would love to give them some ideas to make this class fun for the students because they absolutely are miserable in class with the 'reading' straight from the book. Any suggestions for this week in body systems?

Hi VickyRN - I will working in a community college setting teaching NAI and NAII. I do not start teaching independently for 4 more weeks. My responsibilites are to be able to walk into the classroom setting and / or clinical setting and instruct, oversee and guide the students. I have been told by most instructors that the turnover is high here because of this reason, and I would love to make this into my project, find the need and then fill it right? I just do not want to step on anyones toes and I want to make the best experience out of this. I also thought about doing one on adult centered teaching. The supervisor (RN) went to a conference this past week in Raleigh and asked me if I knew anything about this and I shared with her some of the classes I had taken through my MSN course and she is really interested in this learning style. I would love to do this as well. Suggestions? I think in the long run I would learn more from working on the adult centered learning, but I am not sure how to make that into a project. Thanks for taking the time to reply back -

I'm wondering if any of the seasoned educators can offer some advice for my practicum. I start my new job as a NAI and NAII instructor in two weeks and tomorrow I start my practicum. I want to make this transition as helpful as I can. I am unclear of what practicum ideas I can use that will also be beneficial to my new job? Several people have offered easy ideas that have nothing to do with my career, yet would be simple. I want to actually learn something from this, but I think I need a push in the direction of the classroom. I am not looking for "answsers" so to speak, just some ideas that I could chat with some seasoned educators about...... Thanks in advance.
