Hi! My name is Nichole Weaver, MSN, RN, CCRN. I am the Curriculum Director here at NRSNG. I’m responsible for … well … directing Curriculum! I coordinate the creation of courses and resource content, and I oversee all of our course and content creators. I am so glad you’re here to be a part of the NRSNG family and learn about us as a company and how we teach. What I want to do in this video is quickly introduce you to YOUR role in our mission. In other words…why the heck are you here.
First and foremost we need excellent teachers. As you learned in the last video we have an incredible platform for providing lessons and resources to students. We want to keep doing that and keep expanding what we can provide. In order to do that we have got to have teachers who are passionate about what they do, confident and competent in their skill set and their knowledge base, and who know how to effectively convey information and teach these topics. And of course we want teachers who are friendly and personable who can make connections with the students. We do have some expectations for all of our teachers. Above all we need teachers who give a damn. It is way too common to find Educators who don’t truly care about the development of competent and engaged Healthcare professionals. They just read from their notes and wish the students good luck. We don’t want that. We want teachers who at their core are passionate about helping students learn. We also expect that our teachers will learn our pedagogy and teaching philosophies and will follow our methods and teaching strategies. In the coming videos were going to teach you all about our pedagogy and give you guidance on how to implement it effectively.
In terms of specific things you would do as an NRSNG-trained teacher… Once the curriculum team has determined a new lesson or course is needed, you will be helping to create it. You may be developing outlines, creating video lessons with a written transcript for students to follow, connecting appropriate resources to that lesson like cheatsheets, flashcards, mnemonics, etc. You may need to write a Care Plan or a Case Study. All of these things will come together to form a fully integrated lesson for the student to use to be able to master the content they’re working on.
Now, I want to talk about something that is at the core of some of my personal philosophies, but will kind of help you understand why we are here and what we’re looking for. There’s a japanese concept called ikigai. It means a reason for being or purpose or what gives your life meaning. It’s based on the overlap between what you love, what the world needs, what you are good at, and what you can be paid for. It’s the idea that if any one of these things are missing, you may not find true purpose or fulfillment. If you are doing something that the world needs and you can be paid for it, and especially if you’re good at it, then you’ve got a vocation or a profession – you may make money, but you won’t be fulfilled. If you are doing something you love that you’re good at that the world needs, you may feel content and feel good about yourself, but you won’t be able to survive financially. We want to find educators that feel like this is their sweet spot. Like they’ve finally found a way to use their passion and their profession to contribute to meeting a need. And that they’re SO incredibly lucky that they get to get paid to do it. That’s how Jon and I feel here at NRSNG and we want our teachers to have that same kind of hunger and excitement. So, I hope this hits your sweet spot and your ikigai.
We want you to join the movement. NRSNG is all about changing the face of nursing and allied health education and meeting the needs of these learners. Amazing things are happening here and we hope you’re excited to be a part of it. Now, If you go through this training and at the end of it you can truly say that you don’t believe in our philosophies and don’t want to implement these methods the way we teach them, that is totally fine. It just might mean this isn’t the place for you or this isn’t the pedagogy for you – so just let us know.
So I’m excited for you to dive in and learn about our pedagogy and teaching methods. Get ready to soak it all in! Now, go out and be your best self today. And, as always, happy nursing!
