Discussion Board: Holistic Nursing (Where I Am From) (10 points)
Purpose:
This assignment serves two purposes. First, it is an introduction about yourself done in a creative storytelling format using technology. Please remember, creative expression usually takes a bit more time. Second, it is about communicating a sensitive and thoughtful response to others' expressed values that may differ from your own.
Resources:
Here is an example from Lori Lindgren about "Where I Come From" and areas to address in the response.
Directions: There are 2 main parts
Discussion Post
Submit your written work from your personal story of "Where you come from".
The work needs to contain 5 main areas in poetic format.
You must have 5-10 ideas about what types of things make you, you. This can be ancestral folk remedies, family of origin, hobbies, things you like and value that relate to your health and healing practices. One of the areas needs to address your belief system about spirituality/monism/dualism...see power point on History.
Express what the 4 core values of nursing means to you. It does not matter the order, it just needs to address these 4 areas. Make sure it is clear what value you are addressing. You can adopt quotes from other people or definitions from the many nursing theorists. You do not need to cite sources, just incorporate into your own voice of what you believe.
Person. Be clear, state: "I believe that a person is...."
Environment. Be clear, state: "Environment is....:" or "What environment means to me..."
Health: Be clear, state: "I believe optimal health is..."
Nursing: Be clear, state: "This is what I think it means to be a nurse."
Record your story with pictures. It should be 3-5 minutes in length. (If over 6 minutes, a ½ point will be deducted.
Use whatever presentation format you are comfortable with: Power point, prezi, etc..
Use whatever recording format you are comfortable with. If you need assistance, call the help desk with any questions. (I can help a bit more if you have a PC but if you have a Mac device, I cannot help you).
Images/pictures should go along with your story. You do not need to show any personal pictures, that is up to you. You can download images from online that augments your story.
Optional: Record background instrumental music within the recording which still allows you to be heard talking over the music. I am not expecting you to do this as it shows in the youtube video, but if you are tech savvy and want to add this to your video recording, feel free to do so.
