Who was our speaker?

Megan Suri is a nurse practitioner at the Sprint Campus and works for Cerner. She came and spoke about her schooling, job, and responsibilities. As a nurse practitioner, she can suture, prescribe prescriptions, and diagnosis illnesses. At her office there is not primary physician on campus, so it it ran mostly by nurse practitioners and nurses.

Our Preactivity

Our preactivativity consisted of an introduction to being and becoming a nurse practitioner. We had a powerpoint presentation that helped with the background information of professions in that field. We hadn't had a nurse practitioner come in, so we wanted to make sure everyone was well educated on a great future profession.

Presenting Our Process to the Class

We had many twists and turns throughout the planning process because we planned for a chiropractor to come in and speak. He had and still has a poor system of communication, so getting a reply back is hard. We planned him for a date, and then had to reschedule due to the ACT. We planned the new date, but he never confirmed it, so we went to another profession. Our CAPStone ended up working out, and I'm glad that we had a backup plan.
