Working on this project with my peers was a good experience. I was pleasantly surprised in how this project went compared to the project that we had to do for EBP 1. Our audience was the special care nurses at SMHC and some of the MS4 unit nurses. The feedback that we got was it was a good refresher for them. They have been dealing with COVID patients since the beginning, so this was nothing new for them. My feeling on this is that if we had presented this to nurses at a long-term care facility the feedback that we could receive might have been different as they are not dealing with acute COVID patients every day. The nurses thought that the quiz was a good way to assess their knowledge to see what they already know or need to brush up on.
What I learned from this team project was that I can work with people on a project who might see things differently than I do and actually learn something from them. I also learned more about the topic itself and the facts behind proning. Working on this project helped me gain skills to work with people even when we all don’t have the same schedules. We also meshed well together and created a good system for getting work done. This was partly because Dr. Kramlich was so helpful in providing feedback and ideas when we needed them. I also learned that I do not always have to be the leader.
Often times in all the groups I am a part of I am the leader, this time I took a step back and let someone else take on this role. This was a good learning experience for me because it gave me the freedom to take a more supportive role instead of being the one who spear heads everything. I hope that I can take this experience with me throughout my nursing career as well and realize that I do not always have to be in the lead role.
I think your project was very professional and in-depth! I liked how the project was based on more recent data and clinical issues in the past two years, this makes it a perfect topic to cover because it is so new. I also liked how the flyer asked questions as the headers to get the audience involved and thinking about the reasons proning is beneficial.
The benefits of proning was a great topic choice! It is very relevant in the healthcare field right now because of the pandemic. I learned a lot of information about proning patients that I did not know before from reading the infographic and topic proposal. This infographic is easy to read, eye catching, and informative. The colors are pleasing to the eye, the font is legible, the clipart chosen is simple and uniform, and the usage of a numerical list format makes it easy to follow. Using the QR code was a smart idea because people are always carrying their phones on them, it is easy to access, and does not take long to use. I enjoyed how the headers for each numbered bullet were posed as questions because it helped me assess my own knowledge about the topics. The questions are also helpful for reviewing the information and testing my own knowledge. The information itself was great in both the project proposal and infographic; it included background information, benefits, contraindications, and a step-by-step guide on proning a patient. This project was really well done.
I think you did a great job! The poster is super engaging, and I love how you posted the QR box to take a quiz! This was a great idea, kudos to your group! The poster was informative without being overbearing, and I was actually interested in the topic. I especially like how you didn’t frame this solely around COVID-19 patients, and how those in ARDS or respiratory failure can also benefit from this positioning. The step-by-step on positioning was great, but a little wordy. I totally see what the goal was, but maybe a visual could’ve gotten the same message across without being overdone. Once again, great job!
