Teaching Strategies & Methods from the Bedside to the Podium
Nurses function as teachers in every aspect of the profession.
Ironically, this essential component of our practice and one that both society and the profession has identified as Uniquely Nursing is one for which we receive very little formal education.
This course will review and address the tenets of the role of nurse as educator.
The theory and principles are the same, whether the situation is one-on-one, nurse to patient and family, nurse to nurse, nurse to profession, or nurse to institution/society.
Learning theories, as well as curriculum development, will be discussed.
Adult learning principles, learning styles, behavioral, and learning objectives will be reviewed.
Teaching methods and materials will be outlined and assessment with evaluation strategies will be discussed.
Participants (whether at the bedside, in the backroom, or at a podium) will be offered practical and useful suggestions and tips to make their teaching memorable and meaningful for those they educate.
