Teaching Philosophy

Students in the nursing program are put under a lot of stress due to deadlines and emotionally distressing situations in the clinical setting.  They are put into new situations every day and can feel as if they have been “thrown into” a new learning environment.  Therefore, I believe that the clinical instructor should be approachable, and should be a mentor, a role model and someone they can trust to ask questions and discuss issues.  The clinical instructor must be current in the area in which they are teaching as well as being well versed in current events and policies related to medicine and the nursing profession. 

 

I believe in a student centered learning model and use that as an approach to teaching.  Students learn best when their anxiety levels are low and when they feel that they are in charge of their learning.  In the clinical setting this can mean allowing the students to pick their own patients and experiences for the day and allowing them to choose learning projects that both interest them and work for their own learning style. 

 

I feel that students are extremely bright and creative and I enjoy being a part of their learning process.  It is rewarding to watch them blossom into nursing professionals and to know that I helped them achieve that result.
