This practical “how to” book for teaching nursing in an associate degree program is for new and not-so-new faculty. Advice gleaned from the author’s many years of teaching is presented in a friendly and easy-to-read format, designed to quickly help new faculty get a positive sense of direction. The special issues of AD nursing students — many have full-time jobs, families, and are more mature than the “traditional” college student — are given full consideration.
Strategies discussed include:
- What to do during the first class
- Motivating students
- Helping the student in crisis
- Helping students with poor reading, study, and academic skills
- Helping students with time management
