One of the reasons I found certain safety regulations are ignored are because people are in a hurry to finish, or they are not paying appropriate attention to the precautions and/or instructions (usually because they are in a hurry to finish).

Being a clinical instructor is so different from being a solely didactic instructor.  There is a whole separate skill set to develop when encouraging, promoting, providing and evaluating student learning, versus that of classroom learning.

As I am new to teaching labs, this is a relatively novel type of instruction found  here.  I intend to use the information though, to try to simulate as much as possible the potential scenarios my students my find themselves, so they actually get the most from their lab.

I believe competency training certainly has a place in the training of all people who's jobs require detailed and precise performance, like nursing.  The use of Bloom's taxonomy is what helps instructors ensure they are providing the best possibility training at the level required for our students to form beginning level competencies in their future profession.

It is vital to remember that not all people learn the same way, and employing multiple methods of teaching helps to keep the material fresh and interesting, and for students to learn this all the better.

There are just so many good ideas for this, I feel like I want to keep this course on "bookmark"  The hand signals and dots would be especially helpful

These were fantastic ideas concerning ways to engage students while also staying on task.  I particularly liked the way the vacation/assessment task was set up.

Evaluations of a student's progress should include their ability to meet the outlined objectives set before the internship/clinical begins.

In our case, the deliberate and continuous observation and guidance of the "intern" is vital to help ensure they are given the best possible experience while on site

Ensure that the "intern" is exposed to and able to perform specific and relatable tasks during their time on site.
