NURS 6600: Capstone Synthesis Practicum


Practicum Project Presentation Overview
PowerPoint Presentation Notes


Your PowerPoint presentation should exhibit a professional appearance that reflects
thoughtful, thorough preparation. Consider the audience’s needs, and use your
creativity to design an engaging presentation.

Your audience is your classmates and
Instructor. This presentation also serves as your Portfolio Assignment for this course.

The use of PowerPoint as a presentation method allows you to create a narrative to
convey essential aspects of your Practicum Project. As you develop your presentation,
structure the information to provide a logical flow from the beginning (introduction) to the
middle to the end (conclusion).


Determine a title for each slide. As you create each slide, include the slide title at the top
to help orient the audience, and make sure the slide text is concise and easy to read.
While you may wish to include a few photos or graphics, be mindful that including too
many of these items can be distracting and may result in problems with file size and
downloading.


The evaluation of your presentation will address not just the appropriateness and
inclusion of all required content, but also the extent to which the slides are neat,
organized, and visually appealing.


PowerPoint Presentation Instructions


• Develop a 10- to 25-slide PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:
o A cover slide with the following:
-Title of your Practicum Project
-Date
-Walden University
-Course number
-Your name
(Do not include the names of your practicum Faculty Member or Preceptor)
o A summary of the Practicum Project topic, goal, objectives, and rationale

applicable (you may use screen shots or scans to incorporate these items into
your presentation)
o A summary slide that properly synthesizes and concludes the presentation
o A list of references (including a minimum of five scholarly resources), properly
formatted using APA style
 In addition, you must do the following:
o Write detailed speaker notes for each slide to complement the slide content.
Speaker notes should be clear, in-depth, and function as augmentation of the
slide material. Note: These notes should be written with sufficient depth to
allow someone else to deliver the presentation.
Make sure the PowerPoint presentation reflects graduate-level writing and presentation
standards, with professional-looking graphics and appropriate type style.

Assignment 1: Practicum Project Presentation

You will post a final draft of a PowerPoint presentation conveying the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of your Practicum Project. It is essential that you begin developing your presentation as soon as possible.

To prepare:

  • Review the Practicum Project Presentation Overview, provided in this week’s Learning Resources, for details about this assignment.

Thought provoking. Precise. Engaging. Illuminating. Motivating.

What adjectives would you like those who review your Practicum Project presentation to ascribe to your work? As you finalize your PowerPoint presentation, reflect on the impact you would like to have and how you can apply what you have learned about effective communication and design.

Keep in mind that your presentation must demonstrate graduate-level writing and presentation standards. Your presentation will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Inclusion of all required content, e.g., evidence of scholarly products developed for the Practicum Project
  • Effective communication and appropriate emphasis of content
  • Organization and clarity
  • Visual appeal

Note:

  • I found out that the Tele sitter monitoring is done remotely not within the hospital setting (practicum site).
  • Problems faced at this point is that nursing staff are not inputting their full phone numbers under contact when logging into Epic Charting System. The phone used by nurses is the Ascom phones and unfortunately, failure to input full phone numbers the tele sitter monitor techs or assigned physicians to patients (being monitored remotely) are not able to get hold of the nurses.
  • The unit secretary assigns the phones to nurses, and the charge nurse assigns the patients to nurses.

My suggestions are (I’m open to additional suggestions):

  •  to have the nurses assign themselves the patients per their shift assignment (which is on paper).
  • There should be a hard stop on the EPIC charting System if a nurse who has a phone fails to input full phone number in contact after assigning herself or himself patients for the shift.
