Summary:

This practical ""how to"" book for teaching nursing in an associate degree program is for new and not-so-new faculty. Advice gleaned from the author's many years of teaching is presented in a friendly and easy-to-read format, designed to quickly help new faculty get a positive sense of direction. The special issues of AD nursing students -- many have full-time jobs, families, and are more mature than the ""traditional"" college student -- are given full consideration.
