I've just started my PGCE and although I don't have to do this 5 min presentation you mention, I will be doing a 15-20 minute microteach. Like you I am completely stumped as to what to do!! I'm trying to get away from the VN theme but its really difficult.

this may be of no use but how about how to restrain a dog, most people will have deltwith a dog before and may need it for future reference. id also like to know more about the course you are doing? what qualifications do you need to teach vet nursing?

They are brill ideas but i only have 5 minutes and no POWERPOINT allowed. i was hoping to put a few pics up on powerpoint and talk about what i do in a day. i was thinking of showing how to place a tape muzzle and either send teddys around and a handout of how to do it for group work or shall i just pic someone from audience to do it? oh god its only 5 minutes and i am dreading it.

oh shall i just talk about a typical day at the vets and take some photographs, i have had some fab ideas that i can use for my 20 minute microteach though from everyone that has replied.

what do you think? xx

How about what a VN actually does & is maybe & plus you can always get the class involved with a bit of a Q&A session & a short microsoft powerpoint presentation with some pics, possibly a short video & facts would be great. Or could you show the group how to do something like gloving & gowning & use somebody as a Guinea pig as that would be quite quick & proffesional looking or bandaging maybe? I hope these ideas help & good luck xx

Thats my problem i dont really have any hobbies, with two young kids, working full time in a vets, teaching hours and cert ed, i dont get time to do anything but spend time with kids when i get spare time.

Can it be on absolutely anything?

It depends on the level of the class..... are they VNs? 1st year?

Circulation? One of our lecturers had us pretending to be blood cells and move around a diagram chalked on the car park!! It was great fun and I doubt I'll ever forget how the circulatory system works now
