Nurse Educator Interview
Interview Questions for Dr. Tarte:
1). How long did you work as a bedside nurse? I worked as a bedside nurse off and on for over 11 years
2). What made you decide to leave bedside nursing and become a Nurse Educator? I knew I could do more for the department than I was being allowed to do. I originally left bedside nursing full time to work as a Supervisor-Educator in Emergency Services although I still staffed when needed. I then worked in Nursing Informatics and taught in that role. Even though my title was not that of a nursing educator, I taught nurses weekly, as well as Doctors, CNAs, Respiratory staff, Radiology staff, Laboratory staff, and students from all healthcare backgrounds.
3). What are your teaching philosophy and goals of nursing education? (this one is a long one)
I have been an educator my entire life. I taught my friends how to play jump sticks, my sister how to handle mean people, and when I was in nursing school, I taught a room full of kindergarteners how to wash their hands properly (it was part of our clinical rotation). I realize some may see that as a stretch, but Ive taught people throughout college and now in the professional world. I believe it is important for all nurses to be educators. Nurses educate patients, family members, our communities, students, and teammates. We educate to share knowledge. Knowledge is not power, sharing knowledge is power!
Our patients need to know about their disease processes, medications (usages, dosages, and potential side effects), treatment procedures and discharge planning. We train family members how to adjust to their loved ones diseases and the greatest approach to caring for them. We alert communities about public health issues, safety, and their best approach to healthier lifestyles. As nurses, we are forever busy educating students in their clinical surroundings and we share our knowledge with peers in order to approach the healthcare world in a more powerful manner.
I believe that nurse educators must be nurturing, caring, and compassionate towards their students. We must acknowledge that nursing is both an art and a science and have know-how in psychomotor, affective, and intellectual skills in order to teach their students. Nurse educators must serve as role models for their students and teach appropriate and necessary socialization as well as sharing knowledge. Nursing students must be taught that treating a patient often involves a complex web of trained health care personnel to address different needs, such as occupational therapists, physicians, and pharmacists. Nurse educators must be able to teach their students how to appropriately interact with other members of the health care team.
As a nurse educator, I believe that group work is essential for the development of social skills, sharing knowledge, acknowledging personal differences, and overall for the socialization of the nursing student. Knowledge and role-play with interdisciplinary health care team members is important to help the nursing student understand their role in patient care and the health care delivery process. Group work challenges students to deal with different ideas and viewpoints, and encourages critical thinking.
Nurse educators must utilize multiple teaching styles to most efficiently reach their students. Not all students learn in the same way and not all teaching material is intended to be taught in one particular style. It is imperative that nurse educators take inventory of their students learning styles and plan their lessons and curriculum so the widest variety of learning styles can be addressed and a majority of students receive information in a way that they can best process and utilize.
Nurse educators must take into consideration student disability, cultural and generational differences, as well as familiarity with technology. Students are not just an open book to be filled with knowledge; they come with their own set of knowledge and experiences as well as personalities. Nursing is a field that is primarily dominated by females and it is important that nurse educators do not participate in gender bias with their students. Nursing students are a diverse population and nursing instructors must be able to set aside any biases they have in order to promote a positive, caring learning environment. Nurse educators must be able to adapt to their student population in order to facilitate an accommodating learning environment.
Nurse educators can learn just as much from their students as their students can learn from them. They must be able to acknowledge their mistakes and accept responsibility if they misinform their students or students find conflicting information about a particular topic. Nurse educators must be open to pursuing and learning new information, as well as learning information about topics outside of their expertise to broaden their knowledge base. It is important for nurse educators to be up to date on best nursing practices/evidence-based practice and current research in their field of expertise.
Nurse educators must be knowledgeable and passionate about their subject of interest. Nurse educators must be able to keep their students engaged in difficult learning material that may not be easily understood by students. They must be able to facilitate learning by promoting critical thinking and challenging students in both the classroom and the clinical setting. Nurse educators are critical in the facilitation of nursing students learning, personal and professional growth, and success in a nursing program.
4). What teaching style do you normally use with your students? I normally use a facilitator and hybrid style mixture of teaching.
5). How do you evaluate your students? I evaluate my students with written assignments, discussions, quizzes, tests, and their performance clinically with assigned tasks at the bedside during clinical rotations. I teach at two separate universities.
6). How do you know that student/nurse goals are being met? I follow our university policies, the outlined course objectives/goals, and assessments defined for the course. If my students are successful in all areas, they are successful in my course.
7). What additional support do you provide if a student/ nurse is having difficulty? I send out weekly emails to students and if I find that particular students are having difficulty, I will send them a personal email asking questions if they are alright or if they need assistance. If I do not get a response in a timely fashion (48-72 hours) I will send another email and call the student on the phone and text them. I let them know, they matter to me!
8). How do you ensure you are engaging student/nurse learning? If I get questions on my Questions for the Instructor’ area in Canvas I do my best to answer within 24-48 hours; I email weekly (sometimes more); I answer texts constantly; I keep my eye on students who turn in assignments ‘late’ and offer support and ask if there is anything I can do to assist; I ‘work with’ students who need additional time (if I give one student additional time, I do not count others late. If I do for one, I do for all)
9). What are some challenges you face as a Nurse Educator? I’ve been taken advantage of because I had a HORRIBLE experience as an undergraduate student, and I do not want any student to feel the way I did, so I give students chances. Many times, they can use that as ammunition to take advantage of my kindness.
10). How do you assist a student who is not performing adequately in academics? I work with them. I refer them to student services. I have assisted them in withdrawing from the course because I did not want their GPA to suffer. I have also assisted students in taking an Incomplete in the course until they could complete their work correctly. I want them to be successful.
11). Can you tell me about a positive experience you have had in teaching students/nurses? I taught a CNA student several years ago who was about to graduate from NC State in Chemistry. He was only doing Chemistry because his parents made him. He was taking the CNA course for fun. He was good! I asked him if he had ever thought about nursing? He hadn’t and I introduced him to the bridge program. BSN in anything could get you into a nursing program, and in 18 months, you could get your BSN in nursing. He did it at UNC-Chapel Hill (in North Carolina- BIG Rivals HA HA) He graduated and called me up! I was so proud of him. He didn’t stop there. He is now a CRNA. WOW!!!!!! We are still friends!
12). Can you share with me any advice pros and cons of becoming a nursing educator? If you want to be a nurse educator, give your students your ALL! They deserve it! FIGHT for them! They deserve it! I love what I do, and my students love me! I am truly blessed!!!!

Pugh Matrix
Instructions
Step 1- Based on the options listed in the paper below create solution sets using the Pugh Matrix in the resources tab to determine what the best process would be for your emergency department.
Step 2 – Once chosen, create a new process map based on your chosen process.
Improve
For standardization we will have all students focus on the arrival of patients.
Once it was determined that we needed to focus on the arrival process for patients. A quick fix, with the clipboard removal was identified. The clipboards as an indicator of a process step was removed. It was replaced with an electronic tracker which was already available, but not used appropriately.
The team went to visit other emergency departments to see how their processes worked and looked for ways to improve our own processes by viewing others.
Hospital A
Hospital A has patients has patients go directly to a room when available. The triage nurse asks their normal questions and then hands off to their ED nurse. The hand off includes a conversation about the information gathered from the patient upon assessment.
Hospital B
Hospital B always takes patients back to rooms. They have a large amount of rooms for the volume of patients they actually see. They dont have a triage nurse, they use only the nurses who are assigned patients. If by chance they do run out of rooms, they will pull stable patients out of rooms and place them in the waiting room for further treatment.
Hospital C
Hospital C starts patients out by having the patient see a triage nurse. The triage nurse places orders for the patient via standardized protocols signed off by physicians. This allows the nurse to begin the process of obtaining labs, x-rays, and providing some medications. These protocols are setup and based on patient symptoms. For example, if a patient arrives with an ankle injury the nurse can order an x-ray and an anti-inflammatory medication before they see a physician. They stated it often takes a long time to develop these protocols and they dont have protocols for every symptom. Most of their protocols are for non emergent patients.

Othello
Functional Writing
Read the situation below and use it to complete the assignment that follows.
THE SITUATION
Ms. Anita Patience has been assigned to lead a committee, which is designing the new high school English curriculum. Although her committee is making progress in most areas, she has discovered there is a Shakespeare controversy.
A letter that appeared in the local newspaper sparked the controversy. Ben Ferret, a respected businessman and co-owner of the local Artistic Attractions Theatre wrote the following letter to The Calgary Herald.
To Whom It May Concern,
Why are we still teaching Shakespeare? The man is dead long dead! There are plenty of talented writers in Alberta writers that are alive and well. Their plays are more relevant than Shakespeares and they deal with modern issues. Furthermore, Shakespeares plays are full of obscenities and kids get too much of that on television. Kids need more Canadian content in the classroom.
Sincerely,
Ben Ferret
Many people criticized Ferrets letter, but there were those who agreed. Ms. Patience asked schools to survey students on their opinions of studying Shakespeare. The results are in:
Students Who Support the Study of Shakespeare in high school classrooms:
Grade 10-12 Females 67 % Grade 10-12 Males 66%
Students Who Oppose the Study of Shakespeare in high school classrooms
Grade 10-12 Females 33% Grade 10 Males 34%
Ms. Patience also asked for student committees to study the relevance of particular plays. Your class led a separate study on the usefulness of studying Othello. There were several relevant themes identified by the students you surveyed, including:
Faithfulness and jealousy in love relationships 54%
Loyalty and betrayal in friendship 32%
Appearances vs. reality 9%
Other themes and or issues 5%
You are the spokesperson for the student committee reviewing Othello. Your group has decided that Othello is a very relevant text for high school students to study. You are writing a letter designed to persuade Ms. Anita Patience that Othello ought to remain as part of the grade twelve curriculum.
THE ASSIGNMENT
On behalf of the Grade 12 students of Chinook Learning Services, write the letter that will persuade Ms. Anita Patience to keep Othello on the curriculum.
In preparing your letter, BE SURE to
Consider your purpose and audience
Study the information provided and use it to help you write a persuasive letter
Use an appropriate tone
Sign your letter with your name, Grade Twelve Committee Spokesperson, Chinook Learning Services

Compensation Plan (LA & Manhattan)
This is apart of a group project – My portion is for the Los Angeles & Manhattan locations. Each location should be at least 2 pages.
Background
Your team is a task force working for a start-up boutique hotel chain preparing to launch in five locations across the country. These new hotels are currently under construction in Manhattan, Chicago, Miami, Houston, and Los Angeles, and are expected to open in about 5 months. The hotels are small, 50 to 100 rooms depending on the city, and luxurious. The hotels will appeal to a select clientele. The marketing approach taken by the hotels is being defined and is not part of this assignment.
The CEO of your new organization believes in a very collaborative approach to management. She also believes that everyone in the organization should be working on stretch assignments. Your task force is the first to receive this stretch assignment, which is the Course Project.
Process
You are to work in a virtual self-managing work team to develop a recommendation for compensation packages for soon-to-be Management employees of the five hotels. The CEO has not been very clear about how the hotels will be staffed, figuring that the team can figure out what the positions would be, leaving the number of employees in each position to be determined by the five selected Management positions. She has directed that she wants the hotel Management staff compensation to be higher than average, maybe in the top 25 percentile. She also wants the compensation to be adjusted for the local cost of living. Everyone’s compensation is to have some bonus potential based on the profitability of the location at which they work.
Deliverables: Compensation Plan Recommendations for LA and Manhattan
The report is to contain the following.
1. The methodology that was used to complete the project
2. Job descriptions for your five chosen (Management) positions
3. The results of a compensation survey you conducted using sources available on the Internet
4. How your recommended compensations were calculated, including averages, adjustments for locations, and adjustment to create packages that were in the top 25% of industry compensation packages
5. Create a very basic Job Evaluation methodology that includes FIVE areas to measure (including education experience, cost of errors and/or other KSAs) and calculate the actual evaluations of the five positions
6. Create a very basic Merit Grid for the annual pay strategies for the five positions
Christopher R Beha Leveling the Field
For this discussion, please read the essay by Christopher R Beha,”Leveling the Field”PDF. Then write a discussion answering a few of these questions. You don’t have to answer them all but your answers should be complete answers.
What did you think about this essay? Do you think the idea that everyone should go to college is a sound idea? Should we encourage some people to go to trade schools rather than college? How would we do that, encourage people not to go to college? Do you think that process would be fair or would it force economically disadvantaged people and people of color into trade schools while white and wealthy students would be sent to colleges? How does the idea of for-profit universities like the University of Phoenix complicate this idea that everyone should go to college? Should for-profit universities be banned?
