1. Tell the World Project

2. My idea
For my project I decided to “Tell the World” about the nurses that work at Sentara Greene Family Medicine where I work. I thought it would be a great idea to educate the patients about the nurses that work there and take care of them. Often, our patients don’t know how much experience we have. Sometimes they don’t even know we are registered nurses unless we tell them! I thought this would be a great way to educate our patients about our background and education.

3. My Project
I put a picture and some information about each nurse on paper. I hung the papers in the waiting room at our clinic. We loved hearing what the patient’s had to say. A lot of them were surprised at the experience we have. I also included some input from each nurses provider.

4. Examples
The next two slides have examples of what I did for each nurse, including myself.
