Discussion 1

How often do you engage with or witness death in your work? How has this experience or the lack of it shaped your view of death? Has it gotten easier or harder for you to accept the fact of death? As you explain, include your clinical specialty.

Discussion 2

Reflect on the analysis of the sin of suicide and, thus, euthanasia from the topic readings. Do you agree? Why or why not? Refer to the lecture and topic readings in your response.

Module 7: Assignment N493

Assignment:

1. Create a PowerPoint of an overview of your project, then record the presentation of all phases of the education project (this is different from the one used at your event, if you created one for that purpose). This will be presented as if you are in front of a group of peers explaining how your community education project was planned, developed, implemented, and how the outcomes were achieved and then how you evaluated if your goals were met.

2. Include your work on all phases of the education project, explaining your project and how it was planned, developed, implemented and how outcomes were achieved. Explain if you met your goals for the project. Be sure to show on the objectives slide a close-up picture of your face and your picture ID to verify your identity. Picture IDs can be either a driver license, or a work ID with your name and picture on it. The presentation is to be 7-12 minutes but PLEASE NOTE that if it is more than 8 minutes, it will be too large to fit into the submission drop box. Eight minutes is the best time frame.

Your assignment is to create a power point with the overview using screencast o matic, of your project and then record the power point with your voice over on a screencast-o-matic, PLUS the log is to be submitted into project concert. I do not need to see your face. I need to see the power point and hear you talking about the power point slides. 

In this Assignment, you will continue developing your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan by appending the original document you began in the previous Assignment to develop the second component—academic resources and strategies. To accomplish this:

• Identify and describe at least three academic resources or strategies that can be applied to the MSN program
• Identify and describe at least three professional resources that can be applied to success in the nursing practice in general or your specialty in particular
• Explain how you intend to use these resources, and how they might benefit you academically and professionally.
