Hello everyone. And welcome to my channel. My name is Maria. In this video,
I'm going to provide four additional tips to help you with any nursing essays
any nursing presentations, any nursing assessments that you may have,
if you want more videos like this, make sure you give this video a thumbs up,
subscribe to my channel for more videos like this. And once this video is over,
go back to my channel page.
You'll see a whole bunch of different videos in relation to writing a nursing
essay successfully. So the first tip that I want to share with all of you guys,
it's kind of taken us a step back from the presentation,
the essay or assessment that we have in front of us.
And that is to make sure you read the feedback from any previous essays
or any previous assessments that you may have. Don't be like me,
and don't be stubborn way like, Oh, well, I've got a first in this essay.
Anyway, I'm just going to quickly skim over the feedback.
I'm not really gonna pay attention to it. By reading the feedback continuously.
And actually really studying the feedback that you receive.
You may be able to identify themes. And I know some of you guys might be saying,
Oh my gosh, my lectures, or whoever marked my essay is really crap.
at giving feedback. I can completely identify with you.
I can completely understand and sympathize , you know, where you're coming from.
However, make sure you still read it.
Whether it's one sentence or two sentences, I'm not just saying,
look at one feedback individually. Yes, that is helpful.
But the more essays you do, the more assessments you do,
you can collate all of that feedback together. And like I said,
identify any themes that you may have and work on them.
And you might also identify any strong themes or any themes that you may have
that say, Oh,
actually Maria is actually really good at doing this in this essay,
this and this essay and this and this essay.
So it's not always just a negative thing in terms of, Oh,
all your lecturers and all your essay feedbacks are saying that this is bad.
It could just be a case of, Oh, actually this is actually a strong point.
This is actually something that I'm really good at.
Maybe I didn't have to place as much energy on this in my next essay.
And then I can use that same energy to work on and to, um, improve things that,
you know, previous feedback has said that I need to work on. The second tip,
that I want to share with you,
all when it comes to preparing and writing your nursing essay,
assessments and presentations is to understand that introductions and our
introductions are not the same guys. They are not the same.
They are two completely different things.
I know that the NGO goes at beginning and the output goes to the end.
And generally people think, Oh,
because they're just kind of like a tiny paragraph at the beginning and a tiny
paragraph at the end. That means I can put the same thing. No,
don't do what I did in I'd probably say like maybe the first quarter or the
first third of, um, first year,
I was just pretty much putting the same thing in my intro. I'm out show.
And then,
but then I remember like one time I spoke with a couple of friends just about,
you know, what is it you put in your intro in your art show? So what it was,
I was actually in second year and I was phoning my friends up and we were just
talking about essay and she was really struggling, her inclusion.
And I was like, make conclusions are so easy to write.
So it was pretty much do the same thing you did in your algebra.
And she was like, no, Maria, like, it's not that. And then, you know,
I looked more into it and realized that, wow, really intros and outros,
aren't the same thing. Um,
I do have a video I'll link up up here where I basically went in depth
about what to include in an introduction.
So because I've already got that video talking about what to include in an
introduction right now, I'm going to very briefly,
very quickly talk about what to include in your outline. Now,
when I think of outroduction the first thing,
the first word that comes into mind is implications, implications, implications.
What are the implications of what you've included in your essay or in your
presentation?
What are the implications of what you've discussed in this piece of work that
you have in front of you? And when I think of the implications,
the wider implication, Google is telling us,
and implication is the conclusion that can be drawn from something,
although it is not explicitly stated. So you may be thinking, Oh,
it's so obvious that this has implications. Oh,
it's so obvious that this is an outcome. No,
make sure you include that in your conclusions.
And when I think of implications, I like to split it into four sections. I mean,
it's a four sections, triple PS. If you watch the video that I've just linked,
you know exactly what I'm talking about.
P what does he personally implication the other P what is the political
implication? The third,
what is the professional implication and the fast S what is the social
implications? Not all of those points.
Triple BS will be relevant to your essay or your presentation or your
assessment, but it may be relevant if it is make sure you include that.
I do want to say one rational conclusion do not include any new information.
You can do like a feed forward. For example,
you can say in light of this, this, this, then this, this,
this may need to be explored further,
but generally do not include any new information. I had a habit of doing this,
do not do it. Sentence starters.
That may be helpful when writing your conclusion could be an implication
of this moving on from this in conclusion for this reason.
One more thing that I want to add when it comes to writing your conclusion is
that your conclusion is basically a summary of everything that's happened.
It is basically a long story short. You see,
when you're chilling with your mates and they're like, Oh my gosh,
this happened. And you're like telling me, and they're like, no, it's long.
And then they're just like, okay, let me just keep it short.
Let me just tell you the long story short.
And they basically summarize a whole day of events and like,
literally two minutes. That is what you want to do in your own conclusion.
And let's just say your friend, you know,
summarizes this whole story in two minutes.
And then she comes back and adds like a cliffhanger. And I was like, Oh yeah,
but he said this, but then she doesn't expand on it.
Or she never really talked about it when she was talking about, you know,
what was really going on. You're going to be left with a cliffhanger,
same thing with a person who is marking your assessment.
If you then introduce like a cliffhanger or a new information,
which is basically a cliffhanger in a conclusion that I can be thinking hard
about how to hold up. You never told me this last week.
You never put this in the main body of your assessment.
Why is it you're including it now? So, yeah,
that is what I want to say about conclusions.
I understand that introductions and conclusions on the same,
if we do want more information about what to include in an instruction,
like I said,
I will put the video up and I up here on this side and I'll link it in the
description box below. However,
if you do want me to do a video where I just solely focused on introductions and
ouch reductions, then let me know.
I'll let you guys know what to put in an introduction,
what to put in the out with reduction, what is similar, what is different? And,
you know, basically how to write it before anybody asks. I will say that,
like your introduction, your outroduction,
it should be anything from 10 to 15% of your overall word count.
Like I did say at the beginning of this video,
this video is in partnership with www dot nursing,
passive statement.co UK.
So if you do need any additional help with any nursing assessments or with your
personal statement, then make sure you visit that website. The third point,
the third tip, I want to share with you all,
when it comes to writing your nursing essay, when it comes to, you know,
preparing a body of work is to make sure you seek additional help.
If you feel that you need it. And when I say additional help, I mean,
additional help in terms of the fact that your university or your academic
institution, they may have an academic hub. I know that my university,
we had an academic hub. And when I first looked at it on the website,
I was like, Oh, this academic is probably just fit. You know,
she didn't study English. It's probably just for, you know,
really academic students, you know,
who likes to study politics or Laura or whatever, and then thought,
you know what, Maria, let me just bite the bullet.
Let me just see what it is that they can help me with.
So I went to the academic hub and I told them like, Hey,
sometimes I lick my paragraphs really well.
Sometimes I do a really bad job and I have no idea why
can you help me to, you know, link my powders? We well,
and when I tell you that this lady, I had two sessions with her,
this lady literally sat down with me for like an hour to two hours at a time
telling me word for word, this is what you need to do. You need to include a,
B and C. And for those of you who have watched my, um,
my first nurse and VJ sense around nursing essays,
which are probably is about a year or two ago,
you will know that I am a fan of acronyms and I am a fan of
formulas. This lady was absolutely sit down with me, give me a formula.
And basically told me that if you do what I am telling you to do, guaranteed,
every time you're writing an essay, every time you're preparing a body of work,
the paragraphs, and these sections will link. And I can like, honestly, guys,
I'm a big believer of specialists. If you're struggling with anything,
just go directly to a specialist,
they can tell you what it is that you need to do. So, yeah,
the third point in conclusion is to seek additional help.
If you feel that you need it, the fourth and final tip,
I want to share with you all in this video,
when it comes to writing or nursing essay or preparing any body of work,
I'm just going to say one word
or two words past papers. That's what I'm going to say. So you can,
I'm not going to leave you hanging like that past papers.
I know a lot of you guys are watching this video. You would have done your GCSE.
You would have done your eight levels,
and I can guarantee at least 99% of you all who have done your
GCSE and or air levels must have,
or will have referred to pass papers at some point,
during that paper and you yourself, you know,
how helpful those past papers were you yourself know how helpful it was to
review, you know,
past papers that they submitted a year before you actually did your work,
or two years before you actually did your work,
or your test do not lose this habit. When you were at university,
I keep pass papers at the forefront of your head.
You go to your friend and be like, Hey,
I got 6% in this essay I heard through the grapevine that you got a hundred
percent. Do you mind if I have a read of your essay? Are you able to email me,
email it to me?
We'll can we meet up in a library where I can just kind of read your essay and
see what it is that you've included or what it is that you didn't include?
That's basically an example of a past paper. And when I'm, as I'm saying this,
I don't mean just go to a random person that you've never spoken to before and
be like, Oh my gosh, Sandra, I heard you a hundred percent. Can I read it? No,
you have to have some sort of rapport with a person.
I know with one of my assessments, I think was like a case study.
I think I got any friend from 60 to 70%, but one of my good mates,
she got a hundred percent in it. And I was at RA like Chloe, like,
how did you get a hundred percent? How did you actually get a hundred percent?
And do you know,
I went through her work and I could see I went through her work and I can see
what it is that she included. So I knew that, you know, net sum,
I've got a case study to do.
I'm not only going to do what I did because I know why I got up. Okay, great.
I'm going to try and incorporate some of what Chloe did cause I know she got a
hundred percent. So that's what I mean about, you know, using past papers.
Anyway, I hope this video was super helpful for you.
I hope it wasn't too echoey because you guys are literally situated in my
bathroom and I'm just about on the edge of the door. Anyway.
