Interview for university lecturer

[lizwizz]

I have an interview for a university lecturer's post in adult nursing. What 'hot topics' do I need to swat up on? Many thanks.

Not a good start to your interview is it!!

[lizwizz]

Thanks for that supportive answer gammaray. I have ideas of my own, but I thought the principle of the answerbank was to share experiences and skills.

[gammaray]

My pleasure..!

[lizwizz]

Fortunately you are not typical of most answerbank users.I hope you have the same encouraging response when you need advice.

[gammaray]

Thanks for your concern. Typical ABers must be having a day off today then!

dont know much about education but hot topics in my area of nursing always seem to be : clinical supervision, various white papers, nurse prescribing, clinical governance

[lizwizz]

Many thanks kazza for that useful info

[kazza12345]

dont really know that those would apply to education though

[lizwizz]

I was thinking along those lines for the clinical stuff, but this would be my first foray into an educational post, so i was thinking about nurse education/teaching and assessing skills too. Your info is invaluable though and I appreciate it (unlike some!)

For any job in university always mention equal oppotunities - keeping students on roll and enabling them to study whether they have children or other commmitments. Good luck.

i think you will need to swot up on all the things kazza suggested plus things about practice educstion, training and professional development. i think the aim is to know a bit about a lot. dont worry, i think it will be your personality that will encourage them more, an outgoing and confident type. good luck

[lizwizz]

Many thanks. My faith in ABers is restored.

How sad.
