Why Education?

In almost nine years of nursing experience, I have had the opportunity to work in emergency care, home health, college health, school health and in rehabilitative nursing. No matter what area of nursing I am working in, I find that I always enjoy the teaching aspect of my profession the most. I look forward to helping others learn about nursing, but most importantly I hope to indirectly improve the quality of care patients receive, by enlightening the next generation of nursing students in compassion and caring for others. I am currently enrolled in a nursing education theory course; and hope to learn about education in the nursing profession, as well as familiarize myself with the different types of learners. Ultimately, through this course I hope to set the stage for my career in nursing education, and even identify some theories through which I will be basing my educational methods on. .
