RE: Teaching a Shock Lecture

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.

Best of luck.

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

ps 1.5 hours isn't nearly long enough. When I teach that it's at least 2-3 hours just for SIRS/Sepsis alone. Maybe pick up on the key points and expand from...
