NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

It is not enough for professionals such as nurses and teachers to be taught theory during their courses. Students need to know how to apply theory and what to do when dilemmas arise- see my articles/book. Students much prefer discussions based on case studies where theories can be linked in thus promoting thinking. Awareness of  a theory does not indicate  a high level of thinking.We can become aware of theories by reading a book and teaching is them largely powerpoint which fails to stimulate students in general. Unfortunately, not all lecturers are aware of case studies or dilemas especially if they have not practriced for 20 years. Many are afraid to refer to actual cases studies fearing confidentiality. Yet when at the patient's side doeas a nurse recall the 13 functions of the liver (as I did to pass my exams! cannot recall them now- does that make me  a bad nurse?? Or when does the nurse recall all parts of the heart at the patient's side? Consider also models in nursing or in education. I am not saying they do not need to know this but the art is in it's application.
