Teaching nurses, NPs and CRNAs for 25 years. Kind, but effective.

Diane S.

I have an MS in nursing from Penn State and an MEd with minor in Adult and Distance Education. I also have an MS in Anesthesia from LaRoche College. While I was in nursing school I taught CPR, EMTs and Paramedics for the PA Dept of Health. I also taught fire service, rescue, and haz mat. After being an ICU nurse for 5 years, I got into anesthesia school. During 14 years of being a CRNA I taught all of the SRNAs, usually 4 a semester. Nearly all of my students were college level or adult learners.
While working as a CRNA, I acquired a severe neuromuscular disease and had to quit working. I tutored for Varsity Tutors for 2 years-teaching NCLEX and NEXGEN. Then I worked for myself for two years working mostly on NEXGEN. I’d like to get back to formal teaching. Your company seems like the very thing I’m looking for.
My teaching style is varied. I adapt it to the student. Some like explaining, some like questions, some just need to get confidence. I like them all. I still like Nursing and this is how I can remain involved.I’m very laid back; do not scare my students. Usually they like me. I hope they give me a chance. I really like to help people reach their goals.
