Advocacy Discussion
In this module the focus is on the role of advocacy of nurse leaders. Use your voice to communicate the content of this assignment. Discussion is encouraged.
The purpose of this assignment is to develop your strength as a leader in advocating for important topics impacting health care. You will also develop effective presentation skills.
For the discussion:
Select the topic of your advocacy discussion early in the semester. See the Action Item link to the Advocacy Topic selection spreadsheet in the Week One Activities module.
Research the topic you have selected to assure you have evidence to support the discussion.
Watch the Tutorial Videos for this Module.
Develop a power point presentation based on the required readings for effective power point presentations. Be sure to use the rubric to develop the presentation.
You must record a narrative for the power point presentation using Panopto. Please do not attempt to record the power point presentation in power point and plan to bypass Panopto, the recorded power point file will not effectively upload. The presentation must be recorded in Panopto. If you have difficulty recording the presentation, please email your primary faculty for assistance. Use the tutorials as a guide. Hint: Many of the challenges with recording usually involve using a Mac, If you have access to a system that uses Windows, you may have an easier time completing the recording. We have found that if you do choose to record on the web with the Mac, that significantly reduces the problems students have encountered in the past.
Reminder: the rubric will be found at the three dots located at the top of the discussion assignment.
There is a 10 slide limit excluding a cover slide and a reference slide. Include a reference slide with the presentation.
