This is my assignment that is due tomorrow.

Checkpoint: Job Opportunities Map

·Create a diagram in PowerPoint® or Word mapping job opportunities starting from, or advancing to, the position focused on in your final project.
·Describe the additional training necessary for employees to advance according to the map. Explain the role of organizational incentives and mentoring in developing talent pools. This additional narrative should be 200-300 words, submitted as an additional slide or page with the map.

The question I have is what is mapping? I chose a Registered Nurse for my final project but I am not sure how to start the power point map? Any ideas on how I can start?

You could set it up like a flow chart:

There are also many here -- http://www.enchantedlearning.com/graphicorganizers/storymap/ -- and for your purposes, I think I'd choose the chain or the continuum.

Thanks writeacher! this helps me so much!!

Okay so I found out how to map something in power point. I have another question though. I picked a RN as my future occupation and I have to map off of it. Can you tell me if this is good to use?

Registered Nurse

High School Diploma
Associates Degree in Nursing
Passing the National Licensing Examination
Responsibilities of a RN? It does not list how many I have to have? So how many do you think I should create?

Thank You,

Having the same problem. I must be doing the same assignment, same class, different date?

Mapping, in the context of your assignment, refers to creating a visual representation of job opportunities starting from or advancing to the position of a Registered Nurse. This map will serve as a guide to showcase the various career paths and advancement opportunities within the field.

To start your PowerPoint map, you can follow these steps:

1. Begin by outlining the different job opportunities and positions related to the field of nursing. This could include specialties like pediatric nursing, geriatric nursing, critical care nursing, and so on.

2. Create a hierarchical structure that represents the different levels or stages of career progression within the nursing profession. For example, you could start with entry-level positions like Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), followed by roles like Registered Nurse (RN), Nurse Manager, Clinical Nurse Specialist, and Nurse Educator.

3. Use shapes, arrows, or any other visual elements to establish the connections between different positions, indicating the potential career paths and progression opportunities. Arrows can represent the flow of advancement from one role to another.

4. To add depth to your map, incorporate additional details like required certifications, additional education or degrees, and any specific skills or experiences necessary for moving to the next level.

5. You can also include brief descriptions or key responsibilities for each position to provide a better understanding of what each role entails.

As you work on your PowerPoint map, keep in mind the overall clarity, organization, and visual appeal. Use appropriate fonts, colors, and formatting to ensure the information is easy to read and understand.

Once you have completed the map, you can create an additional slide to describe the training necessary for employees to advance according to the map. Additionally, explain the role of organizational incentives and mentoring in developing talent pools. Ensure this additional narrative is 200-300 words and presents a comprehensive understanding of these aspects.

Remember to proofread your work and ensure the information you present is accurate and up-to-date.

Good luck with your assignment!
