A Sample Answer For the Assignment: Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations NRS 493
Title: Discuss one personal strength and one weakness you have regarding professional presentations NRS 493
I have read the articles below in references to presenting a presentation but i had to establish my own personal feelings in regards to the discussion question topic 9 -1. The personal strength that I have regarding professional presentation is that I have research my topic and did the required research to present it. This is not a topic that someone else has presented to me it something that I feel is necessary and deserved by the personnel at the company that I am precepting at. When presenting an idea that you believe in some anxiety can be eliminate by knowing what you know. What I have come to know is my proposal has been worked on for the last 9 weeks and this not only beneficial to the staff it’s also rewarding to the residents at this facility. My weakness in this presentation would be not getting the audience to consider the proposal that I have work so hard on. I must present in a way as if I am marketing a product to enhance me. I must do my best in this presentation. I keep telling myself that I am not doing this just for a grade. This is to prove that not only the employees are well deserving. It is to show that I value my position as a nurse and that I took an oath to advocate not only for patients but for the wellbeing of my fellow employees. I am fearful, but I must give it all I got. So please pray with me that my proposal will be received and considered with high evaluation.

Thank you for your wonderful reminder regarding the larger purpose behind our projects. It is easy to get caught up in just marking off the to do list and lose sight of the opportunity we have to help improve the lives of our patients. You are right. No matter what the presentation is, no matter how many times you have practiced it, no matter how many people you are speaking too, what is most important is that you know what you are presenting is the right thing, that it is necessary, and that it is for the good of others. There is a strong link between purpose and resilience, something nurses need in great quantities (Healthline, n.d.). With resilience comes longevity and sustainability, something very much needed in our line of work.

Hello Yaxhica,
I agree with you that during the formal presentation, It is important to research your topic in detail before presenting. Adequate research helps to find more data and information regarding my topic of interest which helps me in presenting facts in a seamless manner as well as include visuals, tables, and figures that enhance my presentation (Jacques, 2018). During formal presentations, the audience is fond of asking questions that can only be answered correctly if one has done adequate research. Also remaining organized during presentations helps to present facts in a chronological manner and prevent instances of confusion of points. While presenting it becomes necessary to be organized to avoid confusion of points. One method that can be employed to continue building on this strength is by preparing ahead of time to avoid the eleventh-hour rush.

Yaxhica, you are in my prayers. I pray this now and every day until your presentation. Dear Lord, be with Xaxhica to comfort and encourage. Put your arms around her and help her to reflect on her purpose and mission and to unload her heart and knowledge through her words without anxiety. In Christ, our Lord’s name, Amen.
Karyn,
Thank you so much your prayer is appreciated and received.

Hello Yaxhica,
Thank you for sharing your project with the class. In addition to what you stated about needing more nurses at bedside to reduce stress among nurses, more nurses are needed at bedside but the problem is there is nursing shortage in every hospitals nowadays. I think for nurses to have a good nurse to patient ratio assignments and provide effective care to patients, problem leading to nurse shortages such as low nurses pay rate should be taken care of. Some nurses are leaving bedside to do traveling nursing because of the good pay rate involved. If nurses get a good pay rate, they will stay at the bedside and this will reduce stress involved in working short.

Esther you are correct,
The nursing shortage in healthcare continues to affect hospitals and the quality of care in the modern world. According to Haddad, Annamaraju, & Toney-Butler (2022), the U.S has received an increase in demand for nurses, yet they continue to be few, with the country in need of more than a million nurses. Despite increased awareness of the issue, many healthcare facilities experience nursing shortage issues, especially in long-term care. With the nurses serving in long-term care largely exceeded by the number of patients, they often experience burnout that triggers a series of adverse effects on their performance.

I agree, we are in a scary time. It is hard to see nurses I have known for a long time leave our facility, which is like losing a family member. However, I understand their plight. In the article, Nursing shortage or exodus? (2022), the factors attributed to nurses’ leaving are safety and poor working conditions. During COVID, there was a shock from the mandate to walk from room to room with the same mask. At one point, our facility was recycling masks. Nurses with families left. The practice went against every infection control practice ever known.
Health systems are buying up competitors and building new facilities in our area. Nevertheless, there is not enough staff for the campuses already in existence. The final straw was when the wages of our administrators were published. The foundation that runs our organization shared over 43 million dollars among 14 people, as publicly reported on their tax returns. This hurts the nurses that work so hard with little resources to care for patients properly. In the article, I liked how they called it what it is: an exodus. Yes, natural attrition is happening, but not at this rate.
In a meeting, I brought up the point that with the experience of new hires, we must concentrate on education. Many never had on-site clinicals during COVID. Our NPDS has been advocating for an internship for years. There is no better time than now to mentor and teach EBP and culture from the ground up. We have the opportunity to mold new nurses like never before. It is time we get out of survival mode and be proactive.
Good pay would help. I pray for a successful outcome for your project.

Yaxhica,
One of the areas where most people fail with regards to presentation is failing to prepare. A presenter that has inadequate knowledge about the subject matter is most definitely going to fail when it comes to developing presentations. It is therefore vital to ensure that before asking a presentation, you are well apprised of all the material that you will present (Pierce, 2021). This will ensure that you focus on making the presentation more engaging, as opposed to simply focussing n reading our material.

In my current role as nurse Manage, I find myself speaking in front of an audience every day. During “Morning Meeting,” I am tasked with presenting information to the entire staff of interdisciplinary team leaders, regarding all newly admitted patients from the previous day. This used to be a very anxiety inducing experience when I first started but has since become second nature. A few things that I found makes presenting easier include having a good grasp of knowledge regarding the topic, being organized with the way in which the information is presented and being well prepared to answer questions and offer feedback if the audience decides to engage. These three components to presenting are a few of my strengths and are significant factors when it comes to successful professional presentations (Hanke, 2018).
A weakness that I have when it comes to professional presentations is that because I focus heavily on content and being informed, I sometimes add too much information. This can negatively affect presentation delivery because adding too much information can overwhelm and confuse the audience. Mistakenly, presenters think that more detail is better, when in actuality, less is more. What audiences focus on, and want to hear is the result, conclusion, or summary of your analysis (Paradi, 2019). Sticking to the key objectives of my analysis will help to pinpoint the most important ideas that should be shared with the audience.
