Current Instructional Strategies For Teaching

One of the U.S. educational challenges of today is meeting the educational needs of the English language learners. This growing diverse population of English learners has to simultaneously learn to build their English language proficiency and the content area within their grade level standard. This makes it a double challenge for them and their teachers. After observing a lesson based on a video simulation of a classroom, I will discuss five components: comprehensible input, ongoing specific and immediate feedback, grouping structures and techniques, building background and vocabulary development and student engagement that were integrated into the lesson. I will then discuss what methods and techniques should be utilized when

Due to innovations in technological tools and information management systems while collaborating and coordinating care with other health professionals, nurses have been called upon by the IOM committee to acquire higher levels of education to help them meet the needs of the population. The educational systems to prepare nurses for the work force today, needs to be geared towards community settings like primary care, public health, and long-term care. Nursing curricula in schools, need to be reviewed, updated, and adaptive enough in science, technology, research, and rich fundamental concepts that will enhance decision making skills, involving dynamic clinical situations in all settings to meet the ever changing needs in health care according to the IOM committee.

Nursing has come a long way in the recent centuries. Nursing is now one of the most demanded professions and is continually growing. Nurses have evolved into being the primary care takers of hospitalized patients. New contemporary advances have paved the way to allow nurses to expand their capabilities by having additional roles in patient care. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the new advances that have been created to help assist modern day nurses such as, technology, patient centered care, current roles and responsibilities, and expanded career paths.

The article at americansentinel.edu also goes into detail about the changing challenges of nurses of the future. No longer will nurses just have to be educated on the patient and the body. Now they will have this steep learning curve for technology. This is something we already see as a problem in some ways. Every hospital has a different type of IV pump, ventilator, and medication distributor. This means someone can’t just switch nursing careers without needing to learn a bunch of new

Kelly, I commend your enthusiasm and desire to facilitate a change project that will promote greater competency among new nurses. This project has the potential to not only benefit your academic institution, but even greater, all the facilities where your graduate nurses will work in the future. We had a great simulation lab at my nursing school; however, our supplies were often limited due to costs and the staff that was supposed to help in the lab was lacking. Being allowed to practice a nursing skill one time, due to the high cost of supplies, was far from effective and even more frustrating was having to teach ourselves due to lack of faculty participation. I can imagine how beneficial it would’ve been to have a seasoned nurse explain why we were being instructed to do skills a certain way and also give insight as to how to handle potential situations that could arise in real-life.

The RN Residency program at North Valley Nursing Center is a program that provides RN’s opportunities to learn and apply current, evidence-based practice and nursing knowledge. In a combination of clinical experience and didactic teaching, the program aims both to strengthen the nursing work force by increasing knowledge, skills, and competencies in the specialties of geriatrics and palliative care and to improve the quality of nursing care to older patients and their families (Lee, S. M., Coakley, E. E., Dahlin, C., & Carleton, P. F., 2009). Holtz and Krein used the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to understand nurses ' perceptions of a newly

905), they write “Technology has transformed the nursing practice in the workplace, not only in terms of machinery and equipment, but the skills we have developed and the knowledge we master, the values we advocate, and the importance of nursing for society.” The authors do a great job summarizing in this statement the impact that technology has had on nursing care. Now nurses are being taught how to use newer types of machines, new electronic health record systems, and many other skills they were not used to using before. For younger nurses, this is no feat because they have been raised in a technologically advanced world. For the older nurses however, this presents a large challenge and can sometimes lead to error. The article by Casaril et al continues and explains (p. 905) “A study conducted with health professionals in five hospitals in Brazil and the Netherlands shows that the time of deploying something new generates increased physiological and psychological/emotional burden, especially due to the need to familiarize with the new situation.” So it must be understood that while new technologies may in fact improve nursing care and workload, there is going to be a transition period that may be rather difficult for nursing staff to adjust

Given this dynamic, the education system its one of those that will have a very important challenge so as the nursing field and individuals should question himself and rethink about its principles and objectives as a lifestyle and not look at it as a change, reinvent teaching methods and organizational systems it’s the key and understand the nursing-new technology concept relationship and the process of learning itself will help understand those new changes and advances in technology that will facilitate the nursing jobs.

Nursing practice: Using current data can that can be conveyed in innovative teaching strategies to get the information across.

In order to qualify current medical situation, aging population and the lack of primary care providers, nurses should enhance their education, strengthen their nursing skills, improve communication skills, own critical thinking for tomorrow. In addition, technological advancement is also used in nursing. Nurses should prepare their education from passive to active learning, engage in learning how to learn, know how to use data and electronic systems and participate on line education for tomorrow (Allen, 2013).

Instruction that is provided in a traditional classroom maybe difficult to attend due to limited space, time constraints, and other priorities. However, technology is enabling nurses who otherwise would not be able, to keep current on the rapidly changing field of medicine and the introduction of new knowledge. Nunnery states that “opportunities for continuing education abound through a variety of formal programs as well as through professional journals and

The nursing program intends to take a futuristic approach by having most, if not all, classwork done on computers so that students will be well prepared for working in hospitals. Dr. Robert Long, the Dean of Nursing, said that the department

The Future of Nursing report of 2010 called for the increase in the number of bachelor-prepared nurses in the workforce to 80% by 2020 (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2015). The goal is to encourage nurses to achieve higher education and seek lifelong learning. Lifelong learning, however, goes beyond advanced degrees, required CEU credits, annual inservices, and orientations. Lifelong learning goes above and beyond normal duty. From the first day of nursing school to graduation day to the first day of orientation to a promotion into leadership roles; the learning never stops. Learning is necessary to to meet the demands and needs of a changing technological world that relies on health professionals, like nurses, to provide up-to-date,

“One could argue that nothing will change the way nursing is practiced more than current advances in technology (Huston, 2013)” The current advances in technology in nursing has changed the healthcare field tremendously. I am amazed at the progress that is
