Yes, I'll be teaching clinicals 2 days a week and lecturing 2 days a week. Your input has been great. I can't think of a better source to get information from than from nursing students. Thanks! :)

For reward I was thinking of chocolate of course!! :chuckle I had considered some extra credit system for right answers, but I thought keeping track of points may be too time consuming.

I wanted to thank everyone that has responded so far, I really appreciate it. Well, I have come to the conclusion that I am going to try the interactive approach to start out, and if it isn't well received I'll change things. I think having the students answer questions, and be involved in class will help them grasp the material better than hearing me drone on for the whole 4 hours a week... I mean they'll have to hear me lecture, but I want to keep the students involved and keep them thinking. When asking students to answer questions during reviews, would it be too "elementary school" to give rewards? Or would that make it sort of fun? I think the material is soooooo serious and complicated that a little fun to lighten things up might not be a bad idea, plus it may encourage them to participate rather than the students just look at me and no one say anything. What do you think? You are all great! Thanks!

I will be teaching Med Surg nursing for the first time this fall. I don't have any formal education experience, but have plenty of nursing experience (as RN and NP). It is very important to me that the students learn the material, and that I am an effective teacher. I have asked other faculty if students like to be involved in class, and most say 'not really', they prefer lecture because they are most comfortable with that. I am curious if you all could tell me what style of teaching fits you best? I am very excited about teaching and have a many good ideas, but if most nursing students don't like to be interactive, then I may just stick to lecturing. Please tell me your thoughts! What makes a good teacher in your eyes? Thanks in advance! :)
