Teaching Ideas

Featured Replies

There can never be enough diabetes education. I am constantly amazed at how many health care providers know so little about insulin/timing/testing, etc.

Also-a documenting quickie-what NOT to put in a progress note and how safety reporting is helpful not punitive (if it is that way at your facility)

Reminding about labeling lines policy.

Falls prevention

Body mechanics.

Review precautions (droplet, airborne, neutropenic, etc-again, I am amazed at what people DON;T know)

I am trying to think about what we do every year for our "skills" day.

    You can maybe teach the importance of preventative medicine such as vaccines, yearly physicals, bloodwork, mammos, colonoscopies, testicular self exam, breast self exam...

    There are some apps out there too about it :) Good luck!!

    Whatever you do, it would depend on your audience ie. ICU nurses vs LTC CNAs.

    Have you done a needs assessment? Start there.

    What are the preferences and interests of your audience? Be sure to include some of that.
