Module Three Blog

Post a brief BLOG entry (just a couple of sentences is fine) reflecting on your opinion about the following questions.
What sort of teaching is done in your nursing role? Is there any nursing role that does not involve teaching in some manner?
I currently work in the ER. There is often very little time for the provider to complete adequate teaching to patients due to the nature of the unit. The responsibility of patient education is often put on the part of the nurse. I feel that it is also my responsibility to inform and discuss issues with the patient’s family, as they are often a big part of the patient care. I don’t think that there is a nursing role that does not involve some sort of teaching. We are all in direct communication with patients, family, and other staff. This requires us to constantly reviewing and discussing situations for which we might be experts. Being a teacher is often just as important as being a student, as it teaches you during the process and promotes discussion.
