Clinical Group Meeting • Online Nursing Essays

Overview

You will meet with your faculty and other clinical students in a mandatory Live Session once a week for 75 minutes. You are expected to attend and participate actively to earn credit. The topics of the meetings will vary, and your faculty will provide you with meeting details ahead of time. See the Live Session Information, found in the General area of the course, for all meeting details.

In Week 1, your faculty assigned you, via Course Announcements, a topic that corresponds with a specific course week. During the specified week of the course, you will complete a case presentation on your assigned topic.

You will deliver your case presentation to the class, supported by Microsoft PowerPoint slides. It will include the following components:

• Review of patient’s history
• History of present illness
• Subjective information
• Initial differential diagnoses
• Objective information
• Differential diagnoses
• Diagnoses
• Plan of care
• Information on pathophysiology, etiology, and current clinical practice guidelines, as applicable

Note: If you presented this week, submit your Microsoft PowerPoint file to this assignment dropbox (see To Submit Your Assignment instructions). If you did not present, this assignment will be graded based on your presence in seminar this week.

To Submit Your Assignment:

1. Select the Add Submissions button.
2. Drag or upload your file to the File Picker.
3. Select Save Changes.

Welcome to Week 1 and NU664B: Primary Care of the family 1! 

Please familiarize yourself with the syllabus and bring your questions to the Week 1 Kick-off with Professor Robinson and Dr. Matson! They will be going over everything from what’s due when to tips and tricks CoreElms! Remember you must have 300 hours to move onto NU665B/BX.  

Week 1 Seminar PREP 

Please prepare a 5 to 10-minute PPT with the following slides 

• Slide 1 – Name, State, Nursing Experience 
• Slide 2 – FIVE fun facts about you!  
• Slides 3-7 – Pick a topic in Weeks 1-2 and expand on the topic.
  • Risk Factors / Presenting Symptoms 

• • Hallmark Symptoms – What makes this different?  
  • First line treatment 
  • Primary Goals – Patient Education 
  • Summary 

• • Multiple choice with answer 
  • Rationale included 

lease schedule your “Kick Off” Call with the preceptor during your first 1-2 days of clinical. This is a quick required phone call via FaceTime or Zoom for me to introduce myself to the preceptor.  

Live Sessions 

Just in case you aren’t aware, these live sessions are mandatory for NU664BX and NU665BX. Pajamas and “beverages of choice” are welcome but come prepared to participate. This is a safe and respectful environment to share and discuss hot topics.  

Camera on!  

Please don’t be laying in a bed (or bathtub). Please don’t let your husband/wife run behind you naked as a jaybird. Don’t forget you’re on camera and take us on a trip to the potty (the flush echoes). Don’t forget to turn off the “adult videos” in the background.  

—You may think I’m kidding, but…..NOPE! 

What to expect 

• The first week we will explore CoreElms together and go through what to expect this term.  
• Those in clinical should be prepared to present a patient case for discussion.  

• If time permits, we will cover material from week one: HEENT and other fun tidbits!  

This live session is what you put into it!  

Our MANDATORY Clinical meetings are: Wednesdays 7-8:15pm eastern time

More than one absence will result in a failure in the clinical course (which will also be a failure in didactic). Make sure to set aside this time weekly and set reminders on your phone, your kid(s) phone(s), and even your significant other(s) phones!  

See you on Zoom!
