The goal of the Community Project is to have an opportunity to experience the role of the Community Health Nurse.
The project involves three separate steps. We will provide worksheets that will ensure you are identifying the proper criteria to be successful:
A thorough community assessment. You will have an opportunity to complete a windshield and researched assessment on your community. During the assessment you will provide a clear picture of the community you chose. This will include:
Community Information
Community Demographics
Health Data
Social Data
A community teaching proposal focused on prevention. The research completed in the community assessment will identify prevalent chronic, infectious and priority community concerns. You will create a one stop – one hour teaching session for the community. This is only a proposal and not “hands on.”
The last step is a disaster assessment of your chosen community. An opportunity to assess the readiness and resources that are available in case there is a disaster.
The Hallmark Assignment is a culmination of the Community Needs Assessment worksheets you have completed. Worksheets #1 (Community Assessment), #2 (Prevention Education Proposal) and #3 (Disaster Preparedness Assessment) are templates to help guide your final project.
Develop a PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of 20 slides (not including the title slide or reference slides).
Place key points on the slides (maximum 8 words, 5 lines). May include graphs and images.
Include detailed presenter (speaker) notes for each slide.
Full sentences and in-text citations using APA 7th edition are required.
Audio recording is required and should be clean without interruptions or background noise.
Save and submit your assignment.
When you have completed the assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place. Also, save the file to a Word Document (see video for directions). When you follow the directions, it will create a file that has your slides and your presenter notes. Then submit a copy of the PowerPoint and the Word document through Canvas. Please upload .pptx files and .docx only. Make sure the presenter’s notes are visible within the PowerPoint uploads to Canvas.
