Teaching?

[ElixirFlashez]

I am a Texas LVN with 1 year of stipulations remaining.

I asked the Board of Nursing if I could finish my stipulations by teaching. The Board said they would need to review the Teaching Job Description.

 

My question is does anyone have any ideas how I can get creative with talking with the colleges or universities?

 

I can enroll to refresh in the LVN and I assume then ask about it or just go ahead and apply at the University.

 

Needing anyone's ideas and any short cuts they may know.

 

 

Please do not reply with anything about LVNs and if they are allowed to teach or not. I am not sure about other states I just know information about the Texas one.

 

 

Thanks

I've done quite a bit of teaching both in the  academic setting and in hospitals. My first question is why you would need to take a refresher?  In order to teach its preferable to have had at least a couple years of recent practice. Read the job description and requirements carefully. It also depends on what conditions are included in your contract. 

If you are talking about teaching clinical, you may have issues around the supervision requirements.  

You might want to consider teaching in a nursing assistant program. I've taught advanced skills to CNAs and absolutely loved working with them.

Thanks for the reply

 

 

I wondered that also. This would be articulated between the college and the board. Could they both agree on classroom teaching only. I will more then likely need to go ahead and enroll with one of them for any resources they may have available and networking and so on.

 

 

I don't think it will be a waste of my time however I'm curious what will happen if I enroll remotely with one in another degree plan?

 

Thanks

What is the difference between going back through the LVN program and completing it a 2nd time as opposed to teaching the LVN........  how is that differentiated?
