[NPInfo]: Alumni responsibility & skills education in NP programs

[Margienp at aol.com]

I
 
Hello all,
 
I agree with Nancy and I believe the student has to be engaged in their  
education.The have to promote their needs.
There seems to be issues in students obtaining preceptors and this is the  
schools obligation. If the MS program can not arrange for decent preceptors then 
 there needs to be less students admitted to the programs.
Many times the preceptors are abused.
I have been a preceptor and never had the university make any contact with  
me.
Thanks,
Margie

Hi again....  

I've commented on the above in previous e-mails...  
I also  suggest you contact your programs and put in writing  what you feel  
was missing...
As the "consumers" of education certainly  feel  free to communicate this.... 
I suggest you write directly to   "curriculum committee" in your school of 
nursing...
You might even  offer to put together and/or  teach a CE course or 
elective... 
or...  guest lecture in an established  course.

Also, as alumni, we have  responsibility to those that follow  us....
