what are some teaching plan ideas i can do for my clinicals?

i'm taking gi/gu right now and we need to do a teaching plan related to the course. it has to be 5-10minutes and it will be during clinicals in front of our clinical members (~8 people including the professor). what are some ideas i can do that would be very interesting and not boring? like if it's on diabetes, it has to be one part of diabetes, like the food or what causes it.

OP, I see that you are relatively new here. There are many ongoing discussions about this subject: nursing students requesting help with their homework. You must realize that the subject is quite the hot button.

As you might have noticed, I first asked you to give us your own ideas so that we might help you expound upon them. It is your homework and while one of the purposes of this forum is to help each other out, most of us don't feel that "helping out" involves flat-out giving homework answers. However, most of us are quite happy to help a student who brings his/her own ideas to the table and requests help with understanding concepts or taking their ideas to the next step. For example, had you come here with your specific GI/GU ideas for your presentation, having taken the time to do some preliminary research and put some thought into it, lots of posters would have jumped to help you flesh out your ideas.

Having said that, there will always be those who are happy to give you answers without any effort on your part. In my personal opinion, that will do you no favors in the long run. You are in nursing school to learn critical thinking skills and nursing fundamentals. That will not happen if you are spoon-fed answers. Not to mention that you must pass your own tests, check-offs, etc. Yes, of course, we were all students once, but the fact is that most of us likely did our homework without benefit of Allnurses.com.

I hope that I have given you some food for thought, and that you will think twice before calling another poster "ignorant" when she asks you to thank those who help you.

oh, cool, okay
