Here is some feedback on the Seminar Presentation series for HCNUR3025. This task aimed at providing students with the following:
- To explore various nursing career and study options. Assist all students in considering career planning for their ePortfolio’s and interviews.
- To develop skills in designing an innovative and engaging presentation, and information handout. Information is wasted if it cannot be shared. Engagement of your audience is paramount in learning.
- To improve group work skills. You will be part of a team for your whole nursing career, so understanding group dynamics and the skills required to produce good outcomes is important.
- To improve oral presentation skills and personal public speaking confidence. Confidence comes with practice and understanding your topic. Practice, practice, practice.
- To identify areas for professional development of self and peers through reflection and review of the group work processes. Self reflection is a powerful tool in developing your personal and professional self. And providing constructive feedback to peers (on the bad as well as the good) is an important leadership skill.

How to write a novel
Write the story you’d most want to read. Don’t write a story just because you think it might be a bestseller or that it would make Great Aunt Edna proud. Think about the books you love, the ones you really lose yourself in. If those are mysteries, then don’t try to write an historical romance or a quiet literary novel. It might not be anything genre-specific that you love, but a certain voice, or type of story, or kinds of characters. Write what you love. Do me a favor — right now, today, start a list of all your crazy obsessions, the things that get your heart pumping, that wake you up in the middle of the night. Put it above your desk and use it to guide you, to jumpstart your writing each and every day.

How to boil an egg
-
Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Cover and bring the water to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat immediately to medium and gently boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute per egg for a soft-boiled egg, 2 minutes per egg for a medium-boiled egg, and 3 minutes per egg for a hard-boiled egg.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, to make the seasoned salt, combine the sea salt, pepper, paprika and cumin in a small dish.
- Step 3
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the boiled eggs from the water and place in egg cups. Serve the eggs immediately sprinkled with the seasoned salt and served with the toast fingers.

Reflective Activity 1
Those who presented in Week 12 certainly provided the most innovative in ways to present information and engage an audience (as would be expected given additional time and ideas). However the three weeks prior were all fairly similar. You need to think about the lectures and workshops that you attend that you find interesting and engaging and memorable – what techniques did they use to make it such? It is not enough to just research a topic and increase your own knowledge of an issue – you need to consider how you can share that knowledge with others to assist them in making informed decisions about their careers. And ultimately how do you go about delivering health education and promotion to patients and their families in a way that they will remember and be inspired to take on board your teachings? Otherwise you are wasting your and their time.
