Teaching Philosophy:
|
I feel that teaching is an opportunity for me to nuture,inspire and empower my students to be the best possible nurses that they can be. I am very passionate about nursing and hope to instill that passion in my students. I believe in providing a learning environment that is student-centered that provides many hands on opportunities that give the students a sense of how they patient might feel. I see my role as one of a facilitator to assist my students to discover their own knowledge. I want to assist students in acquiring behaviors that lead to attitudes that foster critical thinking and lifelong learning.
