I like to use games: Jeopardy, Hollywood
Squares, 100,000 dollar pyramid. That sort of thing, at the end of the lecture.
It helps to cement the knowledge. Also lots of case studies – esp. on
patients we’ve just had in the unit so some people are familiar with
their stories. I like to use small groups and mix up the class so they aren’t
sitting with the same people all the time. Fresh ideas, that sort of thing. I
also like to ask the students lots of questions during the lecture and make it
very interactive. It helps me to know what they are retaining and it helps with
their critical thinking to come up with the answers so I’m not always
spoon feeding them.

Group,
Remember how boring lecture could be in nursing school. Death by powerpoint
even when the instuctor made good slides.
If you were charged with teaching a graduating class of ADN nursing students
about shock, what 'out of seat' activities might you consider offering to help
them learn the concepts. I have to cover Shock/Sepsis/SIRS/MODs in 1.5
hours if you can believe it.
All help appreciated.
Thanks. Houston RN, MSN
