Amanda Shatwell shares her journey from EMT to Emergency Room nurse to LPN Program Coordinator at Southern Tech, exploring how nursing education has evolved to meet today's student needs through hybrid learning models. Her perspective challenges the notion that all nurses must be naturally nurturing, highlighting how different personality types can thrive in various nursing specialties while offering practical advice for avoiding burnout.
• Southern Tech's LPN program achieves remarkable 95-100% pass rates through innovative hybrid learning approaches
• Flexibility with accountability helps working parents succeed in nursing education
• Emergency Room experience provides valuable perspective that makes other nursing specialties seem less stressful
• Nursing offers job security, career advancement, and financial stability regardless of economic conditions
• Not all nurses are natural nurturers - logical thinkers often excel in emergency settings
• Combating nurse burnout requires strong support systems and willingness to explore different specialties
• Modern nursing education now includes specific training on interpersonal communication and civility
• Starting in high-pressure environments like ER or ICU can be ideal for new graduates
