Good Morning!

I like to set the tone of how serious the nursing profession is and important it is that they are serious and dedicated to the program, as it is rigourous, nonethelss, it can be done!

From there I encourage them that though it is hard and we are firm, it is a great profession and they can do this!

I am famous for saying "You got this!"

It always amazes me how they are encouraged with those 3 words. Sometimes that is all that they need; just a little push.

Guide and Controller

I agree that this works about 80% of the time, but what happens when you throw the ball back into their court............" all I did was ask a question! She has a bad attitude".

Any ideas or suggestions.Has anyone else had students to complain?

I am finding that there are defiant adult learners that refuse to do things per classroom rules and/or ECPI policy. My observation has also been that those same students are the ones in the class… >>>

Student/ instructor relationship

Colleagues,

I have recntly expereinced a student who stated that had she taken this class under someone that she liked then she would have been successful. She is a repeat student who failed again this term. My question is, how often do we as faculty remind the students that this learning experience is a two way street. We stress that when content is missed that it is the student's responsibility to contact us and/or another student for review of the content and any information that may have been missed. In addition to this, this student attended tutoring but did not… >>>
