Thank you.

hi...i am in my last 2 weeks of nursing school :yeah:and we are in the nursing home. every week i have a leadership role and on the last day a group of us have to come up with an activity we can do with the residents. does anyone have any suggestions? we only have a 3 hour time slot. i heard some people do ice cream sundaes, singing and playing instruments but none of us are muscially talented and the ice cream sundaes worries me for the residents that are diabetic or on a strict diet. any help or ideas would be appreciated. thank you.

Thank you!! I appreciate your help.

I have up to 10 - 15 minutes. I know I can break it up and do a powerpoint of some sort so I am not the center of attention but I still need to know how to begin and put it all together. I am a working parent myself so alot of it will be from personal experience. I do have to get 3 credible references for my outline that I need to turn in the day of the presentation. Do you know good nursing sites that are credible that may have info on working parents I can search for? I googled it but so many come up. It is hard to know what is credible and what isn't. Thanks for the words of encouragement!!! :)

No I did not take a speech class for a prereq. I am in an accelerated program and it is 10 months long full time. I had public speaking in college but it was an online course and I was able to videotape myself and send it in to the instructor. As far as the topic, it is for my Growth & Development Class and it is on what it is like to be a working parent. I guess I am looking for advice on doing an oral presentation without passing out and an ideas of what to do to present it. I am unsure what to do with this topic.

I have been assigned the topic of Working Parents for our Growth and Development Class and I have to do an oral presentation. I am totally freaked out about this. I was never able to get up in front of the class in high school or college. How will I do this now???? I don't even know how to begin to research this topic and all I can think about is I am seriously going to pass out when it is my turn. Any advice???

dimondgirl, I sent you a Private message with my email address, hope u got it. Thanks, Marci

Days are going good. We just had our first A&P test. I got an 86. I was hoping for better but at least I passed. The teachers are all great so far. This should be a BP thread. I am sure as time goes on we will need to vent about many things.!!! Good Luck to you!!

Cool. Thanks for the help. Will u be in the day or night program?

pretty good on my end. Lots of info though and only more to come. How about you?

awesome. Good for you. What does being an aide in the ER mean? How did you get in there? I live about 20 minutes from St lukes and my 3 children were all born there. Can I private message you so we can talk some more? Thanks for the offer of helping. I appreciate it.

Cool. Did you order your books yet? I have all of mine and have started some of the summer reading. What is your background? I have no medical background so I am starting from scratch and am a little nervous. I hope I can keep up.

Congratulations, Unique87!! Are you in the day or evening program?

I am starting Bristol Plymouth in Sept day program. My name is Marci. Nice to meet you.

Hi LaurenAshley86, Did you get accepted to either school for Sept 09?
