Springer Series on the Teaching of Nursing

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
