Reflection on Nursing Presentation

Reflection on Nursing showing REFLECTION ON MY first appearanceIntroductionAs part of my overseas program I had to hold a 15 minutes showing on choice of emergence in front of my colleagues. An effective unveiling firebrands the best use of the relationship between the pitcher and the audience. It takes full consideration of the audiences unavoidably in determine to capture their interest, develop their understanding, inspire their confidence and strive the presenters objectives (University of Leicester, 2009). harmonise to Nickolas (2003), to facilitate an effective insertion in that respect are four elements. They are Planning, Preparation, Practicing, PresentingPlanning it includes selection of an authorized musical theme, decision the study outcomes, organising the content, preparing the visuals.Preparation The main aim is to prepare clear, simple and bewitching visuals. For eg effective agency point slides.Practicing Practice draw ins perfection it includes re hearse and pre rehearse. In rehearse practicing the things you are in hightail it doing, but in pre rehearse practicing the things you power confine to do.Presenting It includes facial expression, pace, voice, body movements, use of pointer, roles etcIn order to spell out a reflection I selected Gibbs 1988 model. It is mainly used by wellness professionals. To reflect is non bountiful, you then contain to put into practice the eruditeness and stark naked understanding you have gained therefore allowing the broody process to communicate your practice. Taking action is the key Gibbs prompts the practitioner to formulate an action figure. This en adequate to(p)s the reflective practitioner to find out at their practice and see what they would change in the future, how they would develop/improve their practice (Gibbs, 1988).It has got six various stages. Which are description, timbre ,evaluation, analysis, conclusion and action plan.DescriptionAs part of my overseas breast feeding program I had to deliver a 15 minutes introduction on choice of subject on the final solar day at university. On my full point of supplying I was very confused passably the selection of consequence. Variety of melodic themes was in my mind. Finally I refractory my issuance which was percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy feeding and the care of patient with branch.I was really satisfied when I selected the topic. Because I felt it is going to be an essential and useful information for all the nurses in their cultivate place. Initial period of my job in this country have come across patients with PEG tube. It was a new regard for me. later on the selection of my topic I started doing some research on it. I read some books, journals, and collect information from search engines.Evidence based practice define as the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of watercourse best express in making nursing decisions just about the care of mortal patients (Sackett, 1 996). As it is a problem solving approach to the todays healthcare system, it brings collapse clinical decisions and patient outcome.In order to make my creation more effective and clear I decided to use some visuals, this was power point slides. My slides were simple and easy to understand. Once I finished my prep I started to practise. I practised in front of my family just to snip the stage fear. At the day of presentation I was convinced(p) enough to present in front of a group.FeelingIn order to adjust the while our group was divided in to two. I was the tertiary person in the first group. On the day I was slightly nervous especially few minutes before the presentation starts. luckily I felt very confident at the prison term of presentation and the colleagues were really supportive and responsive which increased my comfortlevel with in the class. Now I feel , by doing this presentation helped me to achieve an essential skill in my profession, as teaching has an acti ve part in nursing.Evaluation International Center for Alcohol Policies (2014) says Evaluation offers a path to determine whether an initiative has been worthwhile in terms of delivering what was intended and forestalled. It has an weighty role to improve own skills. After my presentation I approached my carriage and she gave me a very effective and clear feedback. She explained my aims, learning outcomes, introduction of presentation was clearly stated. I used appropriate aids and the delivery of presentation was appropriate, and it was evidence based similarly. The place where I could improve was the time watchfulness as I was little rook on my time.AnalysisAccording to Ritchey, (1996) Analysis is defined as the procedure by which we break put through an intellectual or substantial livelong into parts or components. After my presentation I have gone through my experience once again and I felt my selection of topic was right as I saw my colleagues enjoyed the topic. But I was a little twist disappointed as I was a bit short on my time. When I was practicing at home I do sure I was on time. With this presentation I understood the importance of planning and organising the body of work as well as time management.Conclusion I launch it myself the opportunity I got from the overseas nursing program was really great. educational activity in front of a group of people was a trying job for me. When I realized I had to do it I try for the level best and the feedback from my tutor made me more strong. Nurse has an cardinal role in teaching the staff. In my future career I will be more confident to teach people , because I understood that, it will increase my association as well.Action plan I will be doing an other(a) presentation in my work place regarding moving and discourse as we have m all new staff started. Before I do it I will make sure I will reach my intended time limit. moreover that, I will go through culture materials and prepare the confine from evidence based knowledge. This section I am planning to do it with a mixture of theory and practical. I will show them the different types of hoists, slings and how to use it. It will be more easier to understand the moving and handling technique. Adhering to NMC code (2008) I will update my knowledge and skills throughout my career.ReferencesGibbs, G.

Thinking about the holistic care, recovery of patients and minimising any contortions from occurring are a few of those responsibilities that a surgical nurse always has to keep in mind. According to Anthony Lee (2007), whether it is abdominal mathematical process , plastic surgery, or any other invasive surgical treatment, it is dangerous to assume 100% safety. He overly stressed that due to the miracles that surgery gives, people might often tend to forget the risks and complications that go with it. bingle of these risks commonly associated with surgery is the occurrence of profoundly nervure thrombosis in the postoperative phase. In the absence of thromboprophylaxis, belatedly vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant risk for surgical patients especially those undergoing orthopaedic surgery and lengthy procedures (ICS 2002, SIGN 2002, Geerts et al 2004, ICS 2006, NICE 2007). This detail gave me the interest of choosing DVT ginmill as my topic for the presentation so as to make me and the listeners more knowledgeable about DVT risk assessment anticipateion thus eradicating this complication from occurring.This essay points out a reflection about the 15-minute seminar presentation that I completed within the course of my study. Utilis ing the Gibbs (1988) reflective model, I would be overlap my learning and feelings based on the whole experience.DESCRIPTIONDuring the first encounter with our programme tutors, we were orientated to prepare a 15-minute presentation of any topic related to our whole adaptation experience which would particularly focus on evidence-based practice. This would assess not only our knowledge and mastery of the chosen topic but it would in addition assess our communication and presentational skills. Based on the assignment given, I made a research about evidence based practice to guide me in choosing my topic. As cited by Sackett, et al (1996), evidence based practice is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. The practice of evidence-based medicine means integrating individual clinical expertness with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research. Based on these findings, I carried on with my quest for an interesting topic.Within the week, I was able to take care of a patient who was admitted for suspected deep vein thrombosis when he stopped wearing his antiembolic stockings. His wife had difficulty position them on his legs. He was my patient the previous month when he had a total hip replacement done. This patient made me realise how important antiembolic stockings are and made me interested about DVT. Thus, I finally decided to present about the prevention of DVT in surgical patients.In prep for the upcoming presentation day, I started my research by checking the internet for any information regarding DVT and its prevention. There were so much information from different sources and reading on these different sources made the topic confusing for me. So, I started peeping for an article from journals that would be perfect for my presentation and which I could focus on. I found an article from the Journal of Perioperative Practice and based my p resentation on that article. I organised my presentation, added more relevant information from different sources, and made a structured powerpoint presentation based from the researches made. I also added pictures colorful designs to make my visual aids creative. I studied on my topic and did a lot of practice days before the final day to make me more confident.FEELINGSThe awaited presentation day finally came. To tramp my confidence and impress the viewers, I was all dressed up to look smart. I was so nervous while waiting for my turn to present especially that it was quite a long time ago that I have had presentations like this. I was also a bit mad that the time administer for my presentation would not be enough for me because I made it as comprehensive as contingent. I was also planning to give a short exercise for the viewers to gain interaction from them.When it was my turn to speak up, the confidence came out and the nervousness faded. I was able to explain the whole topic thoroughly without any difficulty and the 15 minutes went so quickly. I was able to attract attention from the viewers by making the presentation as lively as possible and gaining interaction from them through exchange of ideas. At the end of the presentation, I was also able to assess their understanding of the topic by conducting a short exercise about DVT risk assessment. My presentation went smoothly and before I knew it, it came to an end. I really enjoyed being on stage much more than the whole preparation phase.EVALUATIONAfter everyone presented their topics, our assessors gave us their evaluation about our performances. The assessor gave me very good feedback regarding my overall performance. I was so move that he gave me the highest possible grade in all the criteria. I was certified that I had very good communication interaction skills and that I get the hang my topic really well. I was so happy with feedback from my assessor and from my laddie classmates as wel l. I can never believe that I have that much confidence in me and that I was able to nail the presentation. One comment that I could possibly give about my presentation is the fact that I made it so comprehensive that the 15 minutes was not enough for me to really explain some of the topics well. I asked for an extension of the time given so as I could finish the exercise.ANALYSISThis experience made me prove to myself that I am able to attain my goals with persistence and belief in myself. I gained so much learning and realisations from the whole experience and these after effects are whats most important to make me a better person and a better professional. As defined, learning could be thought of as a process by which deportment changes as a result of experience (Maples and Webster 1980 quoted in Merriam and Caffarella 1991 124). I am hoping that this experience would make me change my behaviour to be more confident when interacting with other people.CONCLUSIONThe entire experi ence was an excellent way of gaining knowledge about evidence based practice. But, it was not focused on the reward of our knowledge alone but on the enhancement of our communication and interaction skills. I can say that I gave my best to deliver a good presentation but still, there is always a live for improvement. I can say that the topic that I covered was too long to fit in a 15 minute presentation and because of that, I was rushing to finish all my slides within the allotted time. So, the contiguous time I would do another presentation, I have acquire that I should simplify the topics and practice more beforehand to know if the allotted time is enough for the whole presentation.ACTION PLANWith this activity, I have gained much learning and had improved my presentational skills. In the future, I would expect to be more confident in doing presentations and be able to endure the tasks that need to be done beforehand. I would spend more time in preparation for the activity to gain more confidence and to prevent any difficulties from occurring.
