Patient bingo is a great way to get students involved and to remind them of the skills that they need to be signed off on
I really liked the Event Cards and the Best/Worst observation for the day (Staff surprises). I also liked the hand gestures. Very applicable to real clinical situations. Thank you.
Good practices in teaching skills are minding the student's anxiety, giving some encouragement.
I really like the moving the dot activity to show what has been done. I defiinitely plan to use that one.
Black out bingo, event cards,dots for progress,etc. all seem like nice ideas. I do not agree with this teaching style. I like interaction with the students to learn of their progress instead of looking at dots. I like to give students case studies so I can see them use their problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. I like to find out what they are learning, what questions they may have and find ways to assist them. Games are fine and maybe fun. Nursing is real life scenarios which I find exciting. I try to make taking care of patients exciting and fun!
I learned that this course is designed to improve teaching practices and skills. Some examples on how to do that include things like using the dot to visually track the progress of the students without having to be with each of them at the same time. This information is very helpful in the clinical setting.
Many nurses use hand gestures and facial signals to each other when working with patients. The idea to create a set for the students is great and will help them learn without worrying about how to not look incompetent in front of patients or their families.
All the clinical setting teaching tools can assist me in improving my teaching practice.
Good to kow about the gesturs used by the clinical instructor in clinical setting.
I like the idea of the dots to make sure students are meeting goals
I like the idea best for using hand gestures to communicate with students... particularly with Foundations students since they are not in the habbit of hand hygiene yet.
Great suggestions to implement in the clinical setting.
This course has taught me different ways to improve teaching practices and skills in the clinical setting. I love the clinical flash card idea. These cards offer quick critical-thinking scenarios that the instructor can present to a student in a clinical area/job location when the day is not as active as you would have hoped. These cards can be kept in the pocket of the instructor and presented to the student between times of doing work-related tasks
I liked a lot of the teaching skills outlined in this module. I like the Dot on the Watch the best because I have a large lab class and I can not be with all of them at the same time. This will also reinforce them to bring in their watch which they oftem forget.
I want to establish some non-verbal cues for electronic engineering technicians that work in and out of patient rooms. Talking aloud and mentioning that something may be wrong with a piece of medical equipment can alarm a patient. Hand gestures can eliminate that slip-up and prevent patients panicking.
This was a great idea and I can't believe I hadn't thought of using it.
This presents great methods for monitoring students in the clinical settinfg, but also allows the students to keep track of the expectations.
I was thinking of how I would keep track of the student's skill level. Using the dots I feel is a great idea in a clinical setting.
I really like the dot on the watch strategy. It can be difficult to keep tabs on multiple students in a clinical setting. I also like the idea of hand gestures.
This course has many valuable teaching skills for clinical environment
