As a Nurse Executive you will be asked to make formal presentations therefore we want to provide you with an opportunity to utilize Power-point during this course, so this assignment will be submitted in a Power-point format. You will also create a one page concise white paper for further discussion to support your Powerpoint Presentation. You may choose a healthcare organization in which you have no affiliation or the
organization in which you currently work. As a graded application exercise for graduate
work - It is vital that the time you apply to this project is not paid-time through your
employer.
Below are examples of the following:
Organizational Analysis Power-point Template. With this template, it provides an overview of the content that you should include in each slide. Of course we will want you to add your content, pictures, creativity etc.
Also below are some samples of previous Power-point presentations completed by Dr Plonien and another by a former student in this program and now Clinical Faculty. You will note that these Power-point presentations are not related to the Organizational Analysis but rather some samples of other presentations.
Also attached is a short video - Death by Power-point - that is optional viewing (can be counted on your practicum log) that also provides some helpful hints in developing a Powerpoint presentation.
