KeepitRealRN and NurseBass Video Collaboration

NurseBass asked me about 2 weeks ago if I was interested in doing a video collab. The first step in any collaboration deciding on a topic. So here we sit 2 weeks later and no progress. My experience with collaborations is that in order for projects to move forward the participants must set measurable objectives with deadlines. To get this project moving I issued a challenge to NurseBass to come up with 10 topics by midnght Thursday and I would do the same. On Friday we will compare lists and pick a topic.

The next step will be to set a due date on competing our respective videos.

It is now Wednesday 7/15/2015 and I have come in with my 10 topic ideas a full 24 hours ahead of the deadline. Some of you may not know that I was a nursing clinical instructor in a former life. The topics with a “vs” in them would be presented as a nursing student/nursing instructor perspective.

1. Writing a care plan is painful vs Reading a care plan is painful
2. 5 Characteristics of a great clinical instructor vs 5 Characteristics of a great nursing student
3. 5 Things I’ve learned in Clinical vs 5 Things I’ve learned as a clinical instructor
4. Where do I see myself in 5 years vs Where I’ve been for 5+ years
5. 5 Reasons I want to be a nurse vs 5 Reasons I became a nurse
6. 5 Things I would do different if I were given a “do over”
7. 5 Procedures I have done or that I look forward to vs 5 procedures I’ve done and do well
8. 5 Questions my friends and/or family have asked me about being a nurse
9. 5 Things I know about Obamacare that directly affects nurses.
10. 5 reasons I became a YouTube nurse.

As soon as NurseBass sends in his ideas I will post them below. We will compare lists and out of the 20 topics generated one will be chosen. Once that process has been completed a due date for the actual videos will be determined.
