I teach an ADN course for an accelerated program and have found that there is almost always 1-2 students who have no health care background at all. This is frustrating not only for me but also for the other students, since it tends to bog down class time with explaining things that for the most part should have been known or experienced prior to them entering the program. I try to give these students more time in tutoring, but I also think that the choice to attend an accelerated program may not have been best for them. Since I don't have input into who enters the program, I find myself searching for ways to improve the class time for all involved. Any suggestions?
