Excerpt from the Book
PLANNING
As a Nurse – Educator it is very important to plan because it leads to success in the achievement of goals and objectives. In the school, I have to plan what lessons should be given to the students that is not stressful for them but maximizes their learning ability. There are short term goals and long term goals where I can base most of my lesson plans so there is continuity in learning. There are also plans that help my professional goals be achieved. We are just humans, there are time when our body needs to take a rest and when that time comes the management can get another teacher to substitute and continue the lesson for the student. In the Korean school, it is very common that students hate to change teachers because their lesson either goes back from the beginning or starts a different one, there is no continuation. But when there is a plan, this will never happen because you can effectively use personnel and facilities effectively. As a manager this will also help in projecting how many teachers are needed for the day and will there be available teachers in case there will be unplanned absences.
As we know planning is like fortune telling, this is the prediction of problems and crises that may arise anytime; with planning I will have an alternative solution. I will be able to be calm and compose because there is a well thought process that will prevent and will be able to cope with potential problems. I also think that planning helps nurses to reduce the element of stress. Knowing what plans are successful and what are not will give me a better idea of what I should do in the future. It also helps nurses to discover if there is a need to change plans. As a manager I will be able to point out opportunities for new or different services. Generally, planning is very important to design effective ways to ensure the accomplishments of goals and objectives. It will also help collaborate and coordinate between and among the team members and I also see it as an effective use of resources.
