HomeworkThis is an individual assignment. Please post a brief introduction, including your
name and background. Consider including a photo of yourself, but note this not a
requirement. Use this forum to help you select group members to work with on the
upcoming group assignments. Students find it easier to meet as groups when work
schedules are similar, for example. As such, include your schedule and other factors that
would be important to consider in selecting your group (e.g., work ethic, etc.). Then, to make
things fun and get to know each other just a little more, answer the ice breaker
questions.You should include the following:Name and background (photo of self welcome
but not required)Schedule considerations and any other factors you feel contribute to group
efficiency and successWhat is your current theme song? In other words, what is the
underscore to your life right now? What song would play when you walk into the
room?What is one skill or talent you would like to develop?What is your favorite year and
why?After introduced yourself do this one:In order to post to this forum, you will need to
first watch the video “Chasing Zero: Winning the War on Healthcare Harm.” This forum
topic is directly related to the course objective “minimizes risk of harm to patients and
providers through both system effectiveness and individual performance.”Instructions:This
is an individual assignment. You are an RN proposing change at your work place to a
committee interested in “chasing zero.” You have 2-3 minutes to catch their attention, show
your passion, and demonstrate your commitment to such efforts. Post a video of yourself
giving opening statements.You should include the following:What was your first thought
after watching the video?What are your ‘take aways’, or lasting impressions, after watching
the video?Personal stories help all that are involved in errors (e.g., staff, victims, families of
victims, etc.) to process the event. They also serve as motivation to improve and commit to a
better way of doing things. Do you or does anyone you know have a personal story
involving preventable error? If not, reference an example outside of those described in the
“Chasing Zero” video.What influence does sharing of errors have on your nursing
practice?The video should be professional in nature; minimize or eliminate “filler” words
(e.g., “uh,” “like,” “you know”), slang, and disorganized thoughts. Be sure you speak clearly
and at an appropriate pace while working within the 2-3 minute timeframe.ORDER NOW
FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not
strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.

2. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.
