Many people are not comfortable with public speaking. It can be very nerve-wracking to do so in classrooms or in more professional settings; especially when we are passionate about what we are talking about. When I was in high school, we had a class that my english teacher did called “Public Speaking”. A lot of students enrolled in the class. They said it was hard, considering they had to write their own papers and presentations and then present them, but from what they said was that it benefited them greatly. A lot of them felt more comfortable and confident in their abilities to speak in front of crowds or even a classroom. Although we are at the age where we do not really have that option available to us, it would be great to stress to the younger generation to help them in their future.

Note

You will be submitting the literature review section of your final paper for feedback. There is no explicit word count for this exercise, but you will need to fully develop and explain themes in your research that will provide background information for your topic.

Remember that you are not writing about each of your sources separately. You are not focusing on each individual source. Instead, you are focusing on the themes and patterns in the research you have gathered that provide background information on your topic. 

Unlike the annotated bibliography, you are not only allowed but encouraged to use quotes or paraphrase your sources. There should be in-text citations in your writing. 

Even though your focus is to provide background information to your reader and this section is largely informative, you want to make sure that the sources do not speak for you. Paraphrasing and using quotes is absolutely appropriate, but please make sure that you are relying mostly on your own interpretation of the information. Most of your writing should still be your own and not totally dependent on your sources.

Sustaining practice changes after implementation of evidence-based interventions can be difficult. When an intervention is introduced it is new and typically presented or discussed with staff members via presentation, in-service, e-mail, etc. so that everyone is getting the information and it is well known. As time passes, the intervention becomes less discussed and it can become less utilized. My project focuses on implementing an educational tool regarding signs and symptoms, risk factors and interventions associated with tumor lysis syndrome. The educational tool is indicated for new graduate nurses transitioning to practice on an oncology unit but is also beneficial to all nurses on the unit. As the tool is presented, I expect it to be referenced more frequently but as time passes it may not be referenced as frequently.

An additional barrier is lack of time. Nurses are busy and whether first starting out on the unit or if they have been there for a longer period, it can be difficult to browse through all of the resources available while at work. To overcome this barrier, I plan to have the educational tool uploaded to our oncology unit’s webpage leading to quick and easy access. I also plan on working with my manager to put the information in the new hire packets for new nurses on our unit. This will help nurses access the tool as it will be available in multiple locations.
