Instructions
This module allows the student to investigate and teach an audience about an advanced nursing practice positions at the BSN level or higher. Part of being a professional is having the ability to communicate in a professional manner in both written and verbal formats. This module’s assignment is a professional presentation. All professional presentations need references, so it is important that scholarly resources are utilized as references (books, peer-reviewed journals, government websites, .edu websites, and professional organizations). The student should evaluate all websites with the same criteria utilized for the assignment in Module Three. To begin, the student should select a topic for their presentation. The options are below:
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (pediatrics, mental health, adult or family practice)
Nursing PhD
Doctor of Nursing Practice
Midwife
The next step is to create a PowerPoint, covering all of the elements of the assignment (see below). After this is completed and references are added at the bottom of the page, the student should go to Canvas Studio and embed a video onto the PowerPoint. It is the responsibility of the student to get to know the technology. Failure to do so will result in a grade of “0” for the assignment. Finally, the student should upload the PowerPoint with embedded video in the module. This is done by selecting media to attach. The instructor cannot automatically see the student’s presentation unless it is shared with them.
This is an individual or group presentation (n more than 3 persons in a group) aimed at educating either nurses or the general public about an advanced nursing practice position. All presentations should be in PowerPoint with an embedded video. It is important to understand that the audience needs to see the PowerPoint clearly. If the presentation is done in a group, each person must present. Some general comments related to presentations:
All information that is not general knowledge needs a reference on the bottom of the slide. Slides should have keywords that the speaker expands on. Do not write in sentences or paragraphs in this presentation. No more than 3–4 lines on slides.
No reading off notes (points will be deducted).
Dress professionally.
Know the content.
See the PowerPoint slides in the course for examples.
Ensure your references are from scholarly resources.
Relax – this is a learning environment.
Each student should evaluate their group or themselves in the Self-Evaluation form.
