Throughout this semester we had the pleasure of working on a group project.  Our focus was the effects of Pitocin on post-partum hemorrhage.  It was fascinating to read about the topic, especially as it aligned with material for our Maternity/Pediatrics course.  The process of doing the initial research and organization as if we were to write a paper, but then transitioning it to a poster and a presentation was great.  It showed an alternative form of education by taking a large topic and translating down to show the important aspects.

            The presentation went well, and I really appreciate all the positive response and feedback.  I noticed many in their feedback state the poster was simple and easy to read, except there were a couple that said it was wordy or difficult to read from far.  This is one of the reasons I chose to use Menti as it was a useful way to distribute the poster and get it into everyone’s hands. By getting it on people devices it engaged them and allowed them to closer examine the material in a more personal way.  One other reason for Menti was for engagement by humor, asking for wrong answers only prompts thought and an easiness of delivering heavy material. 

            The feasibility of our project to implement change I feel is realistic.  As this is a known topic that has a wealth of research, it also encompasses exploring growth by evidence-based practice.  This poster could stimulate thought into why actions and procedures towards Pitocin are used in certain ways.  As nurses it is easy to fall into a procedure-based role and stop asking why.  Asking why something is, we as nurses should continue to ask questions, and to share information which will help foster the inquisitive mentality.
