"My name is Marcella. I am a nurse educator and nurse clinician. My teaching experience in nursing started after I earned a Master of Science (MS) in nursing. The emphasis on the role of educator in my MS program has provided me with skills needed to develop and meet outcomes when teaching and tutoring. When tutoring, I use a variety of teaching methodologies to motivate and engage learners.

The clinical component of the MS program afforded me the critical content needed to share with learners taking Community and Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. My knowledge of science has helped me achieve ongoing recognition for my successes in teaching Pathophysiology. The skill to teach these courses goes beyond large groups as I have been successful in tutoring students challenged by Pathophysiology. As an educator, I stay abreast of current trends. Therefore, I participate in ongoing learning. As a clinician, I can integrate practice with theory, bringing about a sense of realness with learners.

The knowledge I acquired during my PhD program is valuable to learners seeking a tutor. My ability to identify threads in a nursing program allows me to focus on key concepts expected of learners. As a researcher, I stress the need for evidence-based knowledge and its importance when tutoring. Additionally, my PhD allows me to use theoretical approaches when assessing learning needs, planning teaching strategies and evaluating progress.

To help ensure the success of learners, I will take measures to understand their learning style. I will also assess the learner’s readiness to learn. I will also get an understanding of expected outcomes. To keep the learner engaged, I will work to make learning activities fun and useful. While I will assist learners in meeting their goals, I will stress the need for learners to be accountable and responsible. Learners will have homework assignments.

While I am proficient in facilitating a variety of courses, I favor teaching Pathophysiology. I also enjoy teaching the Nursing P" less...
