Abstract

Abstract: This article addresses how inexperienced speakers can prepare and deliver oral presentations that make connections to audiences. Nursing students/providers, university and staff development instructors, or managers may find these tips helpful. Successful content delivery (beginning, middle, and ending "remarks") depends on setting the right tone, incorporating engaging activities, and concluding with recommendations for audiences. Exemplars are presented for each "remarks section" using a project focused on one nurse's responses in a web-based caregivers' support group.
