My reflection is on a teaching session of nasogastric feeding to a second year student. One of the patient I looked after was fed via a nasogastric tube. My student had told me she had never set up a feed via a nasogastric tube. I saw this as a learning opportunity for her.

What would you do if….. I know teaching will have its hard times. I also know that that some students can be extremely rude and disrespectful. If the students knocked down my lesson plan I would let them know the hard work I put into it.
