Discussion forum

Q:What do you consider to be the most significant

nursing practice issues surrounding:

Sedation/analgesia

or

contrast administration

Try to illustrate your issue using a case scenario that summarises your point. For example: Have you ever been in a situation where you were asked/told to administer sedation/analgesia to a patient when you thought it was beyond your scope of practice?

If so, what happened?What was the outcome?How did you feel?Was there a better solution?

Naturally, I had to see what they were saying.

Hi everyone, I feel like I'm about to do a bungy jump!

Need lots of time to read & think, & my brains not happy about being out of retirement!

Hi one and all - it appears if you are like me and have been out of the "learning stage" for a while that our rusty old brains seem to be soaking up all this new info.

I'm off to sleep…I like the bone conduction idea, …It would make the pathway much easier to understand if it's right!!! Hope I don't dream about cochleas!

Trialogical learning

“knowledge creation activities rely heavily on the use, manipulation and

evolution of shared knowledge artefacts, externalising a body of (tacit,

or explicit) knowledge.“ Paavola et al 2004.

Epistemic games

Urban ScienceFood. Shopping. Parking. Housing. Trees. What will the future of Madison look like? In Urban Science, young people decide.

In Urban Science, we explore how innovative technology-based learning environments modeled on the professional practices of urban planners inform students’ understanding of ecology. In the game, players …start to see the world through the eyes of a problem-solving urban planner.

Symbaloo tiles: where will they take me?

• Chunking: George A Miller proposed in 1952 that all information should be presented in small digestible units. Much as web writing needs to today.

• Slideshare: for presentations, and their slides. Free.

• Spidescribe: Mind mapping madness! Truly special, and free.

• KP Portal: Knowledge practice hub of resources.

• Meta tag & Tag cloud: In case anyone is bewildered by tagging

• Learning styles inventory: the visualisation of the data is interesting.(also 70 questions)

Final thoughts

A well tended site will flourish.

Content is king.
