Purpose of Blog

This blog has been developed for the new clinical educator. I will write about my experiences and hopefully impart some of the knowledge and great ideas I have obtained from others in the field.

Now what do I do?

I've been working a couple of weeks, but still not sure of what I need to do.  I have done a needs assessment of my different nursing units, but now wonder how do I get these great ideas for learning realized.  Also, just found out that I will be the administrator for the learning management system (LMS) at my facility.  This is a big job with a lot of responsibility. I have to make sure that staff keeps up to date on all online learning, plus develop classes for others that can be put on the LMS. Finally, I am in charge of the preceptor program.  I have to teach the New Preceptor class and make sure all of the preceptors are doing the required learning updates every two years.
So I guess I know what I need to do now.

New job!

     After 25 years of bedside nursing I am finally going a totally different route and becoming a Clinical Educator.  I have never worked a Monday through Friday job with weekends off.  Plus, I get my own office!  I am so excited, but scared.  What am I going to do?  Will I get along with everyone in the office?
