As an Early Intervention Nurse, I am teaching parents all the time. The Early Intervention program I work for is located in the "Center for Person's with Disabilities" at Utah State University. This association with USU requires our program to train students from many areas of the University. I love the interaction I have with not just nursing students, but psychology, special education, speech pathology and education students. My interaction with students is usually one-on-one and provides me the chance to mentor as well as teach. I know that as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I will continue to teach on a regular basis. I can not think of any nursing/health care provider that is not a teacher. I can think of some that are not effective teachers, but it is required of them to teach.

Hi Natalie,
ReplyDeleteJust from reading your job title "early intervention" the teaching necessity. As a FNP you will be teaching a wide variety of audiences. Good comments.
