In this week’s discussion, you will create a video, at least one minute long, where you share how you plan to integrate nursing school into your daily life. Nursing school can be demanding, requiring dedication, time management, and effective strategies to succeed.
In your video, address the following questions:
How do you plan to balance the responsibilities of nursing school with your other life commitments (such as work, family, or personal time)?
What specific strategies will you use to manage your time, stay organized, and ensure that you can meet the requirements of your nursing program?
How do you plan to maintain your motivation and well-being while handling the rigors of nursing school?
Remember to speak clearly, make eye contact with the camera, and use facial expressions and gestures to emphasize your points. If you refer to any resources or strategies you’ve learned from other professionals or articles, be sure to cite them directly in your video and provide the written source details after uploading.
Here are some tips for public speaking:
Know your material: The better you understand your content, the more confident you’ll feel.
Plan your key points: Focus on one or two main ideas to stay concise.
Start strong: Use an engaging hook to capture attention.
Speak clearly and at a steady pace: Pause for emphasis where needed.
Engage with your audience: Make eye contact with the camera and visualize your audience to build connection.
Use gestures naturally: This adds energy to your delivery.
Practice aloud: Rehearse several times to build familiarity.
Manage nervousness: Take deep breaths before speaking and focus on your message, not the fear.
Here are some important reminders:
Review the grading rubric thoroughly.
Record your video in a quiet, well-lit area.
Practice your recording several times before finalizing it.
Make sure your video is longer than 1 minute and no more than 3-5 minutes long.
