Dedicated Education Unit

This week's focus is on developing a collaborative biography. I chose to contribute an article about an innovative model for clinical practice; the dedicated educated unit. I have had the opportunity to work as a clinical instructor on a dedicated education unit for the past year. Clinical preceptors work as bedside instructors while clinical faculty focus on linking classroom content to the bedside, stimulating critical thinking in nursing students. I utilized an I-pad to help facilitate this process. When students were unsure of the implications of certain disease processes, I would have them explore disease processes on the internet and then teach me about what they had learned.
