Capstone Project Reflection

Communication is one of the basic survival skills of human and also a fundamental part of nursing. Effective communication would help to promote a positive nurse-client relationship which is crucial for the delivery of quality nursing care (Sheppard, 1993; McCabe 2003).

Communication is usually taken for granted in our every day to day living as we use it without thought. Good communication skills are needed in the workplace and especially with nursing staff to and from patients when giving first hand care. Good or bad communication can make there experience within the health care setting a positive or negative one and can leave a lasting impression. A good health care provider can use there communication skills to put a patient at ease with a few comforting words or gestures, a lack of positive communication in the health care setting could leave the patient feeling neglected, ignored and not valued as a patient.

Effective communication is essential for a nurse in a leadership position. If a nurse is not able to convey or transfer pertinent information to other team members or clients, conflict or problems can arise. A nurse is able to effectively communicate through creating synergy, establishing a purpose or goal, actively listening, being truthful, and being responsible. When a nurse leader is able to successfully communicate, patient safety increases and medical errors decrease which leads to a higher percentage of positive patient outcomes. Effective communication fosters positive nurse-patient and nurse-team member relationships.

It is essential that there is effective communication to build an effective team. Effective teams need to work well together and that team cohesiveness depends on building strong relationships among team members. Communication is crucial and is driven by the team leader who will work with the team to establish ground rules and work to bring the team together so that it can accomplish its goals. All teams will go through expected stages of development, from forming to storming to norming and eventually performing according to Tuckman. Navigating through these stages effectively will help teams build relationships which in turn improves communication. Effective team communication can lead to both personal and professional development. Some examples of good communication are the holding of regular catch up meetings, active listening (by management and team members), regular feedback, clear vision and goals. In contrast to the above poor communication skills can have an adverse effect on team working. If team members are not communicating amongst themselves then

In nursing profession, communication is one of the vital interprofessional collaboration competencies. A slack in communication gap will affect effective teamwork in providing efficient patient care delivery. Without integrated cooperation and effective communication, there will be a delinquency in the healthcare system, resulting in

Thinking about what to do for my senior project was difficult. At first I was thinking of skateboarding and at first I thought maybe that could work then, I remembered a good friend of mine did a senior project and introduced me to Arlington Street. People's Assistance Network (A-SPAN). A-SPAN is a organization that’s mission is to provide life-sustaining services for Arlington’s most vulnerable individuals through outreaching and building relationships built on trust and respect.

I am a student in the Masters of Science in Information Security and Assurance at Western Governors University. I am currently working on my Capstone Project. The capstone project deals with a significant real world business problem that integrates the component of the degree. I have chosen to do my project on how blockchain technology can improve banking and cross-border payment system. I my project I am interested in implementing the ripple payment system using BaaS platform in Azure I my scenario: “ Bank of the People” (fictitious) With 10 billion in assets and process about 12 billion in cross-border transactions a year. I need to know the following for a cost analysis in the three models that Earthport offers financial institutions

My name is Ashtin Shyenne Colby. I was born in Lawton, Oklahoma on October 13, 1998. I am the second child of Glenn Colby and Belinda Colby. My older brother Austin is eight years older than me. I have lived with my family in the same house for the entirety of my life. A few other people have lived with us temporarily in the past. The only others living with us now are my pets. I have a German Shepherd Husky mix dog named Brownie and a fluffy, black and white rabbit named Twink.

Before the end of this course, we had group presentation where we had real cases with patient prescription error, and we had to present to the class the cause, effect of that error. My team project was really excellent. Several things I did to perform excellently in this project was teamwork-getting along with my teammates and trying to understand their opinion, I was the leader of it who decided when to do it, where to meet, how to do specific things, and what to do. I was extremely responsible with this work which took our group to the right path. Something I excelled was being confident when presenting in front of my classmates and instructor, I had enough confident to present my point and was ready for any question coming toward me; however,

People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are often misunderstood and discriminated by society at large and many health professionals. Furthermore, Spanish speakers face additional barriers. Due to such marginalization, dental services, while essential, can be neglected. This can result in tooth loss, infection, or other ailments that can rapidly deteriorate the health of persons with compromised immune systems. With the creation of a robust and culturally competent assessment tool that evaluates the needs of dental clients, a reversal of this trend can occur and ensure that necessary dental care becomes the new standard.

I think I successfully complete my Capstone project because what I wanted my project to reflect was to motivate others that there are ways for people of all situations to further their education, as well as, giving information to those who are undocumented and talk about DACA which can truly help those who are undocumented. As well as, by asking friends and family to write the valentine cards it helps because the valentines cards was to thank them for their support on tuition equity or asking them to support them. If I could do something differently for my project would be about the guest speaker aspect since in the end when I presented I wasn’t able to get people to become speakers because they had to work or other reasons. However, as I was

When choosing a capstone project, one is supposed to reflect on the program they are undertaking. The academic program I am undertaking is child and adolescent psychology. So quite naturally my first thought was to focus on a specific psychological need or issue surrounding my research on a need involving children. I came up with the idea of my capstone project, since it was a research topic I was very interested in and it related to the child psychology field.

How do you know if you have effective communication? To have effective communication you have to have an understanding of ones ideas. Another good way to know if you have effective communication is observations among people. Communication is a two way exchange that must involve both a presenter and a audience. It is important to have good quality interpersonal relations particularly in the health care industry because when you are in health care, you are talking to multiple people. When you are in health care, you are always interacting with other departments, nurses, office personal and patients. So it

Unlike the pretest where I had many days to administer my pre assessment, I only had one day to try to get in twenty-six post assessments. My Impact project ran the three weeks leading up to fall break and I wanted the students to be able to get through the design and building process of their structure before I began administering the post assessment. In a perfect world, I would have waited until the fourth week to administer it when the structures would have been completed and we could have evaluated them for effectiveness. However, with fall break and a deadline for my Impact project, I had to administer it the Thursday before fall break. I was only able to get twenty-two of the twenty six students for the post test, and my data had to be

During the researching stage, I have learnt to be more open and flexible in receiving, gathering and applying information, from different sources into my Final Major Project. By looking at editorial photographers, designers, food artisans, documentaries, articles and experiencing cultural diversity that London has to offer, by going to a range of traditional and modern markets, I, then came up with a whole developed concept and made me realized to think about even the smallest elements in representing and creating my project, that could actually make a huge impact. Apart from that, I would not set aside the importance of colour investigation, drawings, the making of small initial samples as a part of my brainstorming process, photographs and
