Teaching Nursing in an Associate Degree Program

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.
