I have learned to first treat my students with respect.  The students treat me the same way.  They are graudating in a week and have told me throughout their jouney to become nurses that they are thankful they were able to learn in a caring environment.  They have said numerous times how hard it is to learn from instructors that make them feel intimidated. 

I have been an instructor for 3 years.  Prior to that I was (and really still am) a Medical Technologist for over 30 years.  I also have an MBA.  So, I bring alot of experience to the table.  I found out quite early on that teaching is a big challenge.  But, it is a challenge that I am up to, and it is a challenge that I like to tackle.  I love to see the faces in my classes light up when they finally grasp a concept that had been eluding them.  I love to see the smiles of accomplishment… >>>
