Hello I have recently noticed quite a few new New Zealand members but there is not a thread dedicated to them. So I am going to recify that situation. Please drop in and tell us about your favourite tipple while giving us a bit of information about New Zealand.

See there are still people out there who think that New Zealand is part of Australia (ducks for cover yelling not me! not me!)

I have been doing my level best to raise the Aussie profile but I think it is time for the Kiwis to speak out about themselves!

hi everyone! I am a 2nd year student from N.Z. Does anyone have any ideas on presenting group presentations. Would like to do something a little more interesting than just reading from our notes.

[gwenith, BSN, RN]

Heaps of ideas - what is the topic??

[amh]

The topic is negligence and incompetence within nursing practice, need to include disiplinary actions, tensions between law and ethics, impact on nurse etc

thanks for the welcome, pleased to be here.

yes we can use props and role play, visual and audial,

I want to do something that is going to be remembered, to make a statement.

I think that one of the best things you can use to be remebered, is doing a power point presentation. You can put great graphics in, have time out screens in between of really random things. Can make it alot of fun with sound and pictures....

powerpoint sounds great, any other ideas, thanks for the input guys

Role play is very effective. Especially if you think up a really juicy scenario and there are plenty on this bulletin board. There are lots of stories here where a nurse is in trouble not for something she did but because of circumstances. Do a search. Or look up the legal or the safety issues forums.

Remember though the majority of the BB is American and the laws may be slightly different.
