In my experience, teaching nursing students requires a much more advanced set of information than normal teaching, and as such there is often less incentive to have the students interact, as there is not as much information they could impart among the class.

What’s more, one of my primary goals, is teaching caring and compassion along with rote medical information (Walden University, 2011).

It is my desire to practice “the pleasantness of ...
