About me

I am a new instructor, just finished my first term. I learned a lot. I should have lectured a bit more, could have been firmer with late asssignments, did really well with the hands on training. Got my feet wet and have a better feel on how to present new topics and assignments. Had a lot of fun and plan on having more fun instructing in the future. I have been a Registered Medical Assistant for 22 years, working in a physicians office in McAllen TX for ten years and another physicians office in Grand Junction CO for 12 years. In high school I wanted to be a math or science teacher and when I was in the hospital giving birth to my first daughter became intrigued with the idea of being a nurse. I went to medical assisting college and loved it! After a few years I decided to try getting my nursing degree and when it came time to devote all my time to nursing and would have to quit a wonderful full time job in a physicians office I decided that it really wasn't for me so I kept my job and have never looked back. After 12 years in the last physicians office I was ready for a change but not so much of a change from the medical field so now I have my high school dream of being a teacher and staying in the medical field.

I am still new to the world of teaching/instruction, 7 months into it now. Loving it, but really appreciating these online courses. I am very knowledgeable in the subject material but getting it across to a room full of students is another matter. Having to step back to where they are now in the learning process an not getting too far ahead of their skill level was hard at first but every course I take gives me more perspective into the teaching of it.
