Welcome from the Nursing Professional Advisory Committee (N-PAC) Publication and Presentation Subcommittee
Our Mission: To assist nurses [Commissioned Corps Nurse Officers, Civil Service Nurses, and Tribal Nurses] in writing; preparing manuscripts for publication; and public speaking. Promote the visibility and public image of nurses through increased writing activity, publications, and public speaking. Our Goals: To encourage and support nurses to write, publish, and “feel at ease” and secure with public speaking. Topics for Your Information and Use! Speakers Resources We would all like to sound articulate, polished, and confident when speaking before a large group; however, many of us have not mastered this skill and often find the experience extremely stressful. The Publications & Presentations Subcommittee would like to assist you in improving your public speaking skills. We have collected several resources to help you feel more comfortable about public speaking. Feel free to browse through our list and if you think of any other resources you would like to see added, please let us know. Emergency and Risk Communication Resources Speakers Bureau If you are preparing for a speech and would like assistance, please contact the following individual for information on the Speakers Bureau Mentoring Program:
Clinical Narratives We are currently working on a revised new approach to introducing nurses to the world of “Clinical Narratives” and writing. PowerPoint Presentations We have two great pieces here for your use as you begin to think of planning your next PowerPoint presentation, or maybe this is you first one! The first one is PowerPoint Tips and you may also want to try the Rate Your Presentation Slides Audit. As the publications committee moves ahead with its activities, we may ask for some of your submissions of PowerPoint presentations that can be shared with other nurses. Stay tuned! Writer's Mentoring Program The Writer's Mentoring Program provides an opportunity for Civil Service, Tribal and Commissioned Corps nurses to receive guidance in the development of documents generated for i.e., policy and procedures, publications internal within institutions, external for journal or book publishers, awards, etc. Browse through the List of Categories for a more specific and detailed description to help to make your selection for assistance, and the writing venture you are embarking on! Writer's Resources Look what we have for you! We have identified a number of valuable resources that can assist you in writing. The first two links take you to writing websites that provide so much good information on a number of subjects and areas; in fact the Miriam-Webster Online has free word games that are really fun and also educational. When you have a chance, take some time, and explore through these informative websites, and we are hoping you can use these resources as you began to venture out on your writing! If you find a particularly good site you really find useful, drop us an email and let us know about it, and we will share this with our readers. Writers Presenters Internet Resources I and Writer's Resources II In Writer's Resources III you will find some great Points on specific documentation; poster or podium abstract; research paper review; and position paper review. Please note, there is not a citation on these particular points, however we would like to thank the previous NPAC Publications Subcommittee (2003-2005) in developing these and passing them on. Celebrate Published Nurses Take a look at our brand new feature on celebrating published nurses!! Here is our first quarterly submission of the most current list of publications (non-research type) of civil and USPHS nurses. Nurses may be primary or contributing authors in these publications. URL links appear when available. This list will be updated every quarter. SPECIAL FEATURE ARTICLE: “Working with USPHS: an adventure waiting to happen” Martha Phillips, Senior Co-step If you have further questions on submission or in general related to this activity email LCDR Robin Bassett as well at same email address. We anticipate archiving each quarter as we replace it with the new quarter's submission. Enjoy the reading, lots to learn from our colleagues!!!
