What sort of teaching is done in your nursing role? Is there any nursing role that does not involve teaching in some manner?
I do not think there is any nursing role that does not involve teaching in some form or another. In fact I do not think there are any roles in life that do not involve teaching. Teaching and learning from others helps to keep us alive. Literally I feel that being able to learn and process is a survival of the fittest thing. And as I have mentioned before (though maybe in another class) teaching and learning go hand in hand.
As a good old fashioned bedside med/surg nurse I have the opportunity to do all sorts of teaching.(And I document all of it!) I educate patients on medications, procedures, diet and activity restrictions, new diagnoses, discharge instructions etc. I enjoy the teaching aspect of my job because it always provides and opportunity for learning.
