Nursing Education can be Fun!

Future students,

This letter is my vow to you that you will never be lectured into bordum during my class. Nursing educators are often captured by the ease of lecture style teaching, I am not one of these educators! Nursing educators often lose track of how they are teaching and focus solely of covering the necessary content, not me! Nursing educators often forget that they are teaching people, with different learning styles, and unique interests, I will NEVER forget this! As an educator I strive to make teaching and learning fun. I recognize that each of you have different learning styles and interests. I also recognize that not only the content important but also the way in which this content is taught. Health care is an ever changing and advancing field. To keep up with this fast paced change it is necessary to introduce the use of technology early in education. That is why I will use varied techniques to teach. I will implement methods such as role-playing, case studies, simulation, Voki, videos, and any other new ideas or technologies that are available. I encourage my students to use these techniques in their presentations and in their class participation to keep the environment stimulating and help others to learn. Teaching and learning should be fun. When we are having fun we are retaining information and that is what is most important!
