teamwork

Is so important in nursing.

To be a great nurse you must be able to communicate well, assist others, and express compassion. We work in teams.

As teachers, we must teach teamwork.

So I let the students take turns being charge nurse and CNA for the team. See how it feels. See what it means. What do you do, think, and plan? How do you relate to others?

Can't believe how many skills required to be a great nurse. And I want all my students to be great nurses. Selfishly, as I age... I want to look up from that stretcher or hospital bed and see a great nurse.
