NURS3006 The Professional Nurse

Instructions

Assignment overview:

Students will undertake a video recorded PowerPoint presentation of 10 minutes duration from the choices given below. The student will need to research and provide evidence during their PowerPoint presentation that will be video recorded and uploaded into the submission box. The presentation will require PowerPoint slides and needs to include a reference list as the last slide. Students are required to submit the whole video recorded presentation. The presentation will contain an introductory slide of the title and name of the student as well as the scenario or title.

The total time for the presentation will be 10 minutes. The presentation will also include points for discussion focused on the scenario and the content of the presentation.

In order to pass the topic students will be given a cumulative mark and grade for the two assignments. Students are required to complete and submit both assignments and receive a cumulative mark of 50% or more to pass the topic.

Developing the presentation:

Use the text, module resources and literature on FLO as a foundation to the presentation, then use your experiences and research to develop your presentation.

The title slide will have the student name and the scenario chosen, then slides with content evidenced from the research literature duly referenced on each slide with a final slide containing the references.

Rules for presenting:

Recording can be undertaken by using Kaltura. This is available to students through Flinders University as a software download. The Sturt library has facilities for students to record their presentation when they have developed their slides. Please book a study room and come onto campus if you are unable to access a camera. Students can use their phones to video record, laptops, Kaltura or Collaborate by booking a session. Students can also come into the university and use any desk computer to video record their presentation.

Students are to wear their uniform and treat this as a professional presentation. There should be very minimal reliance on notes while delivering the presentation, and the use of notes must not be obvious to the audience. Presentations are to be 10 minutes in length. As a general rule of thumb there is one slide per minute but some may take longer to speak to than others.

The following is a YouTube guide to PowerPoint Presentations and there are others on developing and delivering presentations. Slides should be uncluttered, easily read and clear. Generally a slide is made up of dot points that are spoken to and expanded upon by the presenter.
