Abstract
Taking a step backward, and at the same time focusing on moving forward, we will use a storyboard approach to tell the “nursing “ story. By this time in the year 2024, nursing practice should have emerged and treated as a key element in the delivery of healthcare. And yet, most of us have experienced significant challenges in nursing roles at both the patient, clinical facility, peer and government levels. This is independent of the health pandemic and the recognition of nursing practice should be reaffirmed and moved beyond the inclusion of provided services of the hospital room charge This presentation will share ideas/images and reflective thoughts of nursing practice from both the student and educator points of view. By telling “our” collective story, one hopes that there will be a renewal of recognizing nurses as key players in the delivery of health care. Nurses contribute to improved health outcomes for the patient, family, groups, community and/or populations. We will review by looking at the start of nursing pathways through education, clinical training, licensure and beyond to see how nurses have sought to meet projected competencies. Using a storyboard approach will help share memories, stimulate engagement and show that each of us has a “story” to tell. Remember, that “we” are in this together. What will the audience take away from your presentation?
Explain how the audience will be able to use what they learn?
The audience will used this “shared” experience to bolster confidence in their professional practice role and realize that they are not alone.
How will this help the audience in their job?
Focusing on the use of collective strength, nurses will emerge as advocates for their own professional growth and help foster change in the way that nurses are recognized in practice settings.
Is this research that other faculty could use to expand their research or teaching?
Absolutely, as “we” are all in this together. There is strength in looking at how to improve the recognition of nursing practice.
Does this provide a practical solution to a problem that could simplify or make a designer’s job moreefficient? This presentation will provide shared story’s that can help motivate others in their nursing roles.
Will it improve the accuracy of a design, or provide new information to assist in a design problem? This presentation will provide shared story’s that can help motivate others in their nursing roles.
