What's So Special About Wikis? ==

Review Erikson's Stages of Development in the table below: The video, "Erikson Hoedown", linked below will give you a musical way to remember Erikson's Stages. Erikson Hoedown

When you have finished reviewing, I want you to start thinking about how you would apply this theory at the bedside of a pediatric patient because, come on!! What good is a theory if we can't do anything with it other than memorize it?? During your clinical experiences, you will be responsible for assigning a stage of Erikson's development to your patient AND putting it into action through your interventions...procedures, communication, providing ADLs, etc.

I have provided a couple of links below to some information about Pediatric Speak and Pediatric-Style Nursing Interventions that may be helpful to you.

Now, I have provided 3 case studies via the links below. Read the one to which you are assigned and begin to work with your peers to answer the questions posed. Remember, this is a collaborative learning experience! That means everyone gets to learn in an environment free of unproductive criticism. Use your "netiquette" and provide constructive comments. Don't delete anyone else's contributions. Instead, insert a comment and the student who posted the contribution can decide for him/herself if they want to delete it.

And by all means, add to the conversation! Requirements include each student contributing to the experience. You must contribute at least 7 edits/suggestions/original posts to this collaborative project. Your work will be evaluated and the preparation component of your anecdotal note will reflect satisfactory or unsatisfactory work. Additionally, I will create a test question for the next exam from our work here and we will publish this wiki to the web to assist other nursing students with applying Erikson to bedside practice (so let's show them what CSU can do!).

NOW.......READY, SET, GO!!!
