However, these clinical degrees do not prepare clinicians how to teach, how to engage learners, how to promote active participation, choose appropriate methodologies, design for transfer of learning, and evaluation techniques. However, I am also a clinical expert, certified in both geriatrics and medical surgical nursing. That being said, I also agree this should not be mandated. I work in staff development and do hold a nursing education degree. Additionally, I am pursuing my EdD. This topic actually going to be my doctoral study! I am going to look at how nurse educators teach - particularly whether they are utilizing best practices in adult education. We will see how this all plays out. Even still, would you consider advocating for a course in adult education within these clinical degrees? As nurses, we are all teachers...whether it is patients or future generations of nurses. I look forward to your reply. Thanks! Mary Curran, RN-BC, MSN I am on the fence…I can see your point and agree that we need clinical experts.

Agree. Teamwork is needed in the nursing career. No nurse is an island, eh. :) Cheers, Peny@<a href="http://www.pulseuniform.com/nurses-scrub-shoes.asp" rel="nofollow">nursing shoes</a> “May we as nurses play with sheer joy and advocate for our members, their opportunities to learn, and for true teamwork.”
