The Importance Of Mentorship

Critical thinking is the foundation in nursing to provide

Nurse educators serve as faculty members in nursing schools and teaching hospitals, sharing their knowledge and skills to prepare the next generation of nurses for effective practice. They develop lesson plans, teach courses, evaluate educational programs, oversee students’ clinical practice and serve as role models for their students. They may teach general courses or focus on areas of specialization, such as geriatric nursing, pediatric nursing or nursing informatics. Most nurse educators have extensive clinical experience, and many continue caring for patients after becoming educators. Even if they no longer practice, nurse educators must stay current with new nursing methods and technologies, which keeps them on the leading edge of clinical

While doing this it is important that the preceptor gives constructive feedback and also for the preceptor to seek feedback on their teaching methods as everybody has a different way of learning. Davis (1993) suggests that, as a role model in clinical situations the characteristics a preceptor portrays are in themselves influences clinical learning. While teaching is still a huge part of being a preceptor; being a role model provides learning opportunities for the students that can help link theory and practice in the clinical area (McCarthy,

Introduction Nursing is a profession. Besides caring patients, it also requires management and leadership skills to raise its professional standard. We have been introduced the idea of nursing leadership and management in this course. We were also assessed by doing group interview and presentation on the themes related to nursing leadership and management. The purpose of this reflective journal is to reflect the lessons we learnt during our preparation of the presentation.

The theory’s first stage is the attention phase and requires students to pay attention to the skill which is being taught in an environment that is conducive for and provides the necessary condition needed for learning to occur. As the expert nurse educator demonstrates the skill while students’ pay attention by observing what the instructor is demonstrating; this can be seen as role modeling. Therefore, an expert educator demonstrates competently the techniques associated with oral administration of medication; clearly, it is important that student nurses observe this procedure being done. In addition, another important determiner when paying attention has to do with the students’ goals, self-esteem, and competence; all these components are acted upon as each student processes the

Objectives: After completing the assigned module reading and assignment, students will be to; • Develop a researchable PICOT question relevant to the clinical practice. • Identify evidence-based resources for developing answers to the question • Complete a table of evidence for the research studies. • Critically analyze research-based articles based on the levels of evidence. • Synthesize collected evidence to develop order sets for final EBP proposal. Student Instructions: • Select a problem from the nursing practice (your focus should be to shed light on a practice-related issue).

Clinical training is part of the nursing education conducted for the nursing students of University of Port Harcourt to enable them acquire skills which is required in taking care of the patients and which makes them competent nurses in nursing

Vygotsky assumes that learner will learn best when actively participating in a learning session with the teacher through doing constructed activities. Vygotsky builds a theory of Zone Proximal Development (ZPD) which is an undercover area of knowledge that a learner can build when teacher able to refine the way of learner perform. In social constructivism, the role of human linguistic abilities enable learner to outdone natural limitation. Vygotsky ZPD will enables the learner to reach a potential development by the guidance and participation or teacher as facilitator and peers. A learner capability of problem-solving and understanding situation will be upgraded above their actual development because constructivist believes the cognitive structures that still in the process of maturing will mature after compromising with the guidance or with the participation with others.

Does learner-centred teaching motivate learners to learn? What is learner-centred teaching? Learner-centred teaching, which at times referred to as student-centred teaching and learner-centred instruction, is a key concept in constructivism; a theory in which "learners construct and reconstruct knowledge, in order to learn effectively" (A. Attard, E. Di Ioio, K. Geven, 2010). Students are the protagonists in learner-centred teaching, unlike teaching-centred teaching in which teachers take the centre stage. In learner-centred learning, students "construct knowledge through gathering and synthesizing information and integrating it with the general skills of inquiry, communication, critical thinking, problem solving and so on" (Perumal, 2015).

Introduction: As an educator, I believe my role is to teach and improve skills that are as important as the ones we use to read, write and calculate. These skills are social skills. My research explores critical thinking as an element of problem-solving, inquiry, reasoning and reflective thinking. It then explores how these can attribute to making healthy, ethical and moral judgements.

In my reading, chapter one gave me some good information about assumptions and learning tasks. Jane Vella talked about assumptions in the first chapter and how the first assumption from learners arrive with the capacity to do the work that is involved in learning. Learners must be active, be engaged and held accountable for their learning. The second assumption is that learners learn when they are actively engaged-cognitive, emotionally, and physically –with the content. Then the third assumption follows closely on new content and can be presented through learning tasks (Vella pp 2-5).

Nursing educator competency 6 as of ‘Pursue Continuous Quality Improvement in the Nurse Educator Role’ reveals certain qualities development and implementation, to enhance nursing education and practice. The educator involved in identifying the needs and activities changes for improvement through further educational practices which propels the nurses to engage in lifelong learning (www.nln.org, nd). Effectiveness of educator role demands the recognition and support from the nurses, nursing faculties and other nursing leaders for participating in research and thereby, the elements of evidence-based practice established. This continuous process of learning occurs in the educator by integrating self-actualization, and fostering knowledge of previous experience into the innovation with help of mentors and supports of faculty colleagues (www.nln.org, nd). My practicum in the clinical teaching for new grads on orientation and clinical nurses for

The factors that influence teaching strategies/ level of nursing education The factors that influence my teaching strategies is a active learning involves the faculty through participation and investment in exploring content knowledge in all phases of the learning process. It requires educational activities that provide Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students with the opportunity to engage actively in courses and respond to the learning situation (Billings & Halstead, 2012). The active learning component of simulation fits naturally with Bandura 's social cognitive theory.

Mentors are people who can be trusted to influence and guide you through stress and tough times. The information related to my topic is his grandmother, basketball coach and Mr.P. The main idea that the essay is going to talk about are the mentors in Junior’s life and how their influence is beneficial to him. Three main points that are proof to my main idea is Firstly,
