As nurses, we are often asked to not only care for patients, but also provide education and training to both patients and other staff. However, sometimes the education that is needed involves a topic or skill we aren’t the most familiar with, but still must be completed. Lately, this has been occurring to me on a near daily basis. I’m asked to provide training on a subject I’m really not familiar with and can think of others who would be better educators, but, for whatever reason, I’m chosen to do so. What are tips and tricks to providing education on topics that aren’t your area of expertise?
