Experience Summary
I have limited experience in tutoring. The experiences include tutoring student nurses in the clinical facilities and in the Fundamentals of Nursing. When I worked with the students in the facilities, I would always demonstrate an organized way of assessing a patient from head-to-toe. I would ask a patient to agree to this procedure. I explained exactly what I would be doing. I emphasized that all the clinical students (males and females) would be watching and asking me questions. I would then type up (document) the findings and give each student a copy.
Teaching Style
However best the student learns. I believe in "hands-on" whenever this is feasible.
My Hobbies
I enjoy a variety of outdoor physical activities. These include: jogging in Forest Park, cross-country and Telemark skiing, hiking, race-walking. I enjoy reading a variety of subjects, but choose fiction more often as an escape from my world of reality.
