Personal Learning Networks

When it comes to personal learning networks, I find them to very valuable. They can help with getting a better understanding of the material. If you are in nursing classes, for example, having fellow nursing students to study with can be key to passing or failing that particular course you are in.  They can help you with understanding some of the material that you are having trouble with. They can also be a great support system. I know that when I was taking classes in the military to become a medic, I utilized personal learning networks with my fellow medics. It is what helped all of us get through the 12 weeks of intensive medical training that we had to complete. These networks can also be applied to your everyday job. Where I work I am considered a role model for my fellow employees. They come to me everyday asking questions about different medical procedures, on the same token I also go to them for things that I may not understand. It helps to create a teamwork atmosphere and makes for a more efficient medical office.
