I would suggest asking one of your fellow instructors if they can share several "really good" concept maps that were graded. Just make sure to black out the student's name, etc. Once you review these and see how they were graded, share them with your students during post conference. They are probably just as worried about them as you are. You might even work through a concept map with your students. Also, there should be a grading criteria in their syllabus---I always explained to my students what I was looking for under each section. That way there will be no surprises when you return their graded papers.

44 and they did explain that in order to put in 20 yrs, I would need a waiver?---since 62 is retirement.

Hello, I have been a RN 20+ yrs, currently working as a school nurse. Am 3 semesters shy of finishing my post masters FNP, which I put on hold due to divorce (already have DNP). This past week I was offered a scholarship by Air Force Nursing to finish my FNP then enter with commission of Captain, or I could go in as active critical care with 30K sign on and commission of Captain. I've checked with the University and I'm able to continue this Fall. I'm going to check with the district to see if I can switch to part-time/substitute so I can attend class and do clinicals. It seems like a wonderful opportunity--heard retiring from military nursing is ideal. What would you do??
