Topics include: * Setting clear expectations (assessment and evaluation) * The coaching role (giving feedback, constructive criticism and encouraging challenges) * Role expectations and factors affecting them (such as culture, intergenerational and gender issues) * Professional relationships (with other nurses, aides and health care providers) * Speical problems (including balancing teaching with clinical responsibilities, conflict management, giving up control and sharing your thinking)
