Media Presentation Assignment
Nurse leaders are continually interacting with patients, colleagues, community stakeholders, and staff, so effective communication is an essential skill for nurse leaders. Communication is used to inform and motivate staff, inspire change, create a shared vision, build relationships, and deal with challenges. Communication can take the form of informal conversations, meetings, open forums, workshops, and formal presentations.
Because nurse leaders need effective presentation skills to communicate key information, this assignment will focus on building your skills as a presenter using visual media tools.
