NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

Why are people afraid of being honest today? Take teaching/ lecturing. If a student asks a question or another teacher, and you the teacher do not know; why not say it? They may even mention something you have never heard of or vice versa. Surely we can be honest and reply, let's look that up together? Why is honesty a sign of weakness? Nobody knows everything and certainly in my field of nursing, we need to raise nurses who are honest and admit when they do not know. This can only start in education. If lecturers or teachers fail to be honest, we are encouraging our students to be the same. people should be congratulated when admitting that they do not know-- not reprimanded.
