How to Become a Nurse Educator
Nurse educators are experienced nurses with a strong clinical background who train and educate budding nurses. Even if a few nurses prefer to continue giving medical assistance to other professionals for the sake of patients, as a side job, the primary responsibility is to be a faculty member at an institution to aid in teaching the future nurses with their practical experience. As there is a growing demand of nurses in America and other parts of the world, the nursing education profession has seen a boom due to the need of training nursing students.

Child Poverty in the UK. Top Story - March 2018.
“I think there is something to be said for the argument that there is a section of youth in this country that do not feel they have a legitimate future, who have been raised in poverty, who in a sense are completely marginalized and isolated from the rest of society, and who feel they have no power over their own lives.” - Owen Jones, ‘Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class’

Nonverbal Learning Disabilities in Turner Syndrome
Jim Abbott, a former Major League Baseball pitcher, despite having been born without a right hand, once stated that “it’s not the disability that defines you; it’s how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with. We have an obligation to the abilities we DO have, not the disability” (Jim Abbot). This has never been more important to instill in our students today. They learn from our actions and language how to treat others, so modeling appropriate behavior in the classroom is essential. Understanding and respecting our students as individuals, each with their own special needs, will better prepare them for success. It is our job as educators to facilitate that success, and tailor our classrooms to fit their needs. We should be aware of what our students may be going through and the challenges they face. For example, the chromosomal abnormality Turner Syndrome (TS) has many symptoms and implications in the classroom.

I Hated Sixth Form
I'm going to start off by saying that sixth form started out pretty fun. I'd happily do first year again. I made some great friends and enjoyed my classes pretty well. I don't have much to complain about the first year other than I did amazingly terrible on my AS exams. Three Us. Yay.

Random Thoughts of a Student Teacher (RTOAST)
Week 1: (Week of March 14, 2018) Side-note: Hello there, I am Ms. Kelley. I am a senior student at Lander University studying Special Education. Each week or so, I don’t know, I will be discussing a topic in education. I will NOT be disclosing any confidential information that I see in the classroom. That would be bad, mmkay? These journals are for education topics only. I am also going to be very informal in these topics. I’ll try to keep the teacher talk to a minimum. Let’s get started!

How to Survive Your First Year of University
Chose a program that you love. When going through the view books at all of your university choices, you need to chose something that calls to you. Chose a major that you have always found interest in. Something you genuinely feel passionate about. This is the main topic and subject area that you will be learning about for the next four years, and what you want the rest of your life to be centred around after you graduate (no pressure). If you feel passionate about more than one thing, then pick both a major in one subject area, and a minor in another. If you can't chose between the two, and you're feeling ambitious, major in both! The important thing is to chose something that you really want to do, something that means something to you, and something you have put a lot of thought into.

Education on Bullying and Mental Well Being Is Key
As a kid, I was bullied, teased, and made fun of. I spent a very large majority of time in the counselor's office. I was a very depressed kid. This started when I was in the second grade and continued through the rest of my schooling. I shared my issues with the School counselors and with my parents. It really was to no avail, because the harassment never stopped.
