Hello everyone and welcome to my channel. My name is Maria,
and this video is in partnership with
www.nursingpersonalstatement.co.uk
So make sure you check that website out if you haven't done so already. It is such a
fantastic resource. So, in this video,
I'm going to give you guys a heads up.
I'm going to give you guys a bit of advice when it comes to writing your nursing
interview essay,
or when it comes to preparing your nursing interview presentation.
A lot of you guys will know that in light of everything that is going on right
now. Rather than you being invited out for a face-to-face interview,
or rather than you being invited out for a nursing assessment day.
What a lot of universities are doing,
or what a lot of higher educational institutions are now doing is, Hey,
actually, we can't invite you for an interview or assessment.
But what we want you to do is write a nursing interview essay or to prepare
a nursing interview presentation. I don't know.
I've got a whole bunch of emails from you guys say, Maria,
this is what they're telling me to do. I don't know how to address it.
I don't know what to do. Can you help a sister out? Can you help a brother out?
So that is what we are going to do in this video.
If you want me to do another video, where I go into lots of detail about, you know,
how to tackle your nursing interview essay and your nursing interview
presentation, then make sure you are engaging with this video.
And when I say engage with video, I basically mean.

So please show some appreciation for the information you are about to receive
like comment and subscribe, but most importantly,
make sure you are watching this video to the whole of its entirety. Hey Lisa.
Hey Sandra. Hey Billy. Hey Tom,
you've got 24 hours who write a nursing interview essay and this is what we want you
to do. Hey Sandra. Hey bill. Hey Tom. Hey Molly.
You've got a week to prepare a 10 page PowerPoint.
This is what you want you to cover you guys. Some of you guys will be like,
Oh my gosh.
What do I actually do?
So what we're going to cover in this video,
we're going to cover breaking down the assessment.
I'm just going to say assessment and use assessment as an umbrella term to
cover, um, essay and to cover presentations.
So let's just say you've been given an assessment question that you've been
given an assessment topic,
and you don't know how to tackle it before you can go anywhere with your nursing
into essay or your nursing interview presentation.
You need to know how to break down the question one we'll look at at any
question, any topic when it comes to academic work,
it can be broken down into two bits.
The first section is the subject of the question or the subject of the phrase.
And the second section is the, um,
essay term or the assessment term.
So let's just say the question could be critically evaluate
nursing principles or tell me it's probably going to be something a bit more
casual. Explain to me how your values align with the values of a nurse.
The subject of that question is your values and nursing values.
And then the essay term is explain or tell me guys essay terms are
extremely, extremely important. I bang,
I bang on about essay terms in basically,
probably maybe all of the nursing essay videos I have my channel.
So if you haven't already watched those videos, make sure you check it out.
Bear in mind that those videos are more catered towards people who are already
on their nursing degree.
But if you do want to take your nursing interview essay or your nursing interview
presentation to next step,
then make sure you watch those videos as soon as you watch these.
So what is an essay term?
And as a term is basically an instruction on how to answer the
question. It's basically telling you how to approach this topic,
how to approach this essay, how to approach this, um, presentation.
Explain is different from clarify is different from critically evaluate
is different from Tell me about it's different from compare and contrast.
Those are five completely different instructions.
So make sure you know what the essay term is,
what the instruction is and make sure you do that.
I will leave a link to a resource that I found or that I still find to this
day really helpful when it comes to writing essays,
when it comes to preparing assessments.
The second part that you want to look at is the subjects.
The question that I just gave you,
tell me how your values align with the values of a nurse.
That question has actually two subjects.
The primary subject would be nursing values and then the secondary subjects
would be your values and how they align.
And I hope at this point that a lot of you will know what your values are.
It's just the case of trying to write on paper, how your values align with, um,
nursing values. And in order for you guys to clarify that,
obviously you need to know what nursing values are. However, you know,
we're all about taking it to the next step. If we really want to,
if we're really really, if we really want to elevate,
your nursing interview
essay and your nursing interview presentation, to the next stages,
I will suggest incorporating some sort of references into your work.
And the only way you can incorporate references into your work is if you've been
doing the work from beforehand, I don't want any of you guys thinking, Oh,
I'm not going out for a face-to-face interview.
I'm not going out for an assessment. They therefore I don't need to know this.
I don't need to know that. Like I can just chill.
I'm just going to write this essay. I'm just going to do this presentation.
Like trust me guys, like at this level of nursing.
It is so easy to see who has put in the work and who hasn't put in the work.
Those of you guys, you know, what your 6cs are, you know,
what the NMC code is, who know the five-year forward view,
who knows our culture of compassionate care,
try and incorporate that into your nursing essay and or into your nursing
presentation, just to take that up into the next level.
So what do I want you guys to actually take from this very quick video?
I want you guys to take away essay terms,
and I also want you guys to take away these subjects.
If you know what the essay term is,
then you will be fine if you know what the subject is, you'll be fine.
But if you include references, you'll be even better.
So those are the two things. The reason why I used, you know,
tell me about how your values align with nursing values is because based on the
emails that I received from you guys,
a lot of them tend to be around nursing values and basically explaining how your
values align with that of a nurse. You know,
some of them are a bit more complicated, but I don't want to come in here and,
you know, tell you guys everything.
I'll just say a lot of them are based around your values and nursing values.
In general, like I have said, this is just a very quick, very casual video.
If you do want me to do another video that goes into great detail,
that goes into more detail about what to include, where to get things from,
then make sure you engage in this video, like comment, subscribe, and yeah,
I wish you guys all the best and see you later.
