What sort of teaching is done in your professional role?
In nursing, there is a continual thread of education in all that we do. We continue our education and we constantly educate patient, colleagues, and the community. My personal favorite is education in patient care. I love the one-on-one intimacy when I am monitoring a labor patient and educating the parents to the technology we use, what it means and what to expect. It brings us closer to the patient and their family when we are all on the same page and also builds a great relationship of trust.
Is there any nursing/health care provider role that does not involve teaching in some manner? I really can't imagine anything that a nurse does that doesn't involve education or teaching in some manner. Even when we are "off duty" we are educating family members about what to do about this or that. We educate neighbors about that growth on their nose that should be be looked at. At the grocery store we help when someone passes out or ask someone if they are feeling alright when we can clearly assess they don't feel well or will pass out any minute. We go to schools, community centers, AFRICA to teach and educate society on health and safety. It's a wonderful calling and I can't imagine doing anything else!
