Teach me, I'm a Nurse

First, I would like to apologise for the new-born cries that sometimes come up in the background during the podcast. It has been one of the biggest adventures of my life and I am loving every moment of it.Second, I hope you enjoy this episode. It is the first one that I’m recording on my own and, as I’m editing, I realised that I have loads of “mannerisms” as I’m recording. Definitely something to develop and work on for future episodes.The central concept is “role model” and, in this episode, I discuss my views on how to utilise this as a clinical post-registration education strategy in nursing. This goes through knowing the conceptual, the practicalities and the reflection elements of role modelling.I touched on Bandura’s theory of social learning (Krapp, 2015) and how he explores role model as part of the learning process in its concept, including attention, retention, motor reproduction and probably the most important aspect in it, motivation. After that, I explore the more practical approach to role modelling coming from research and clinical environments, such as knowledge, teaching skills and attitudes that make a good role model. To rap it up, I talk about reflection as it is mention constantly throughout the literature as an essential aspect of effective role modelling.For this episode, I used the following references:Baldwin, A. et al.

Again, I'm joined by Dan Harris, RN, and Lauren Ward, RN, this time to discuss our experience with Enquiry-based learning. Join us as we discuss our view on the pros and cons of using this resource in nursing education in clinical practice.In this episode we use make reference to the following published works:Inquiry-based Learning (2017) by lnam HaqDoes Enquiry Based Learning (EBL) impact on clinical practice? A qualitative exploration of midwifery graduates' perceptions (2018) by Kathleen Nallen, Dale Spence and Sam PorterStudents' views of enquiry-based learning in a continuing professional development module (2009) by Anne Kirwan and John AdamsInvesting in practice: enquiry- and problem-based learning (1999) by Garth Long, Suzanne Grandis and Edward A GlasperDiagnosing and treating Enquiry Based Learning fatigue in GraduateEntry Nursing students (2018) by Gemma Stacey, Claire Wilson, Helen Reddy, Chris Palmer, James Henderson, Hannah Little and Heather BullIf you would like to leave us some feedback or join us in our discussion, please visit my blog on teachmeimanurse.com and drop me a comment below. Thank you so much for listening.

This will hopefully "kick start" us on the exploration of the topic "education in nursing". Join me, Dan Harries and Lauren Ward, Practice Development Nurses in Critical Care, in our discussion around the article by Professor Michael Aldridge "Creative Teaching Methods for Educators: A Compendium of Critical-Care Concepts" (2018) and our initial thoughts on the concept of education in nursing.If you would like to leave us some feedback or join us in our discussion, please visit my blog on teachmeimanurse.com and drop us a comment below. Thank you so much for listening.

Hi! My name is Hugo and I'm a registered nurse.I'm also a practice development nurse in critical care with a huge passion for education and nursing. I decided to create this podcast to put together resources around education available to clinical educators, like myself. This is the prologue to all the episodes coming so it just explains why I'm doing what I'm doing. Get yourselves ready for some fun discussions around evidence based education and clinical implications.For more information or if you would like to leave a comment, please visit my blog: Teach Me, I'm a Nurse
