I anticipate my team will work well together in gathering information and creating a final project to represent our topic of choice. We will accomplish this project by working collaboratively to evaluate evidence and apply it in not only our presentation but our practice. My team and I created a group chat, so we have means of communication outside of school as well. I think this group chat will help keep us on track as we can communicate diving the workload and having check ins throughout the project. It is also a space where we can ask each other questions or bounce ideas off each other. I think having good means of communication will reduce the possibility of conflict. If a conflict does happen to arise, we will meet as a group and discuss how each of us feel and create a solution to solve it. Communication will help us work collaboratively.

When working in a team I think a barrier could be our schedules clashing. There could be a situation where one team member works on the project on a day another member cannot. Although we don’t need to work on the project at the same time it is important that we are sharing the workload equally. I think this is where communication is key and how we will overcome the barrier. If we are faced with other barriers such as not completing work on time this is when we should meet as a group and maybe create a schedule. In our future nursing career, we will be faced with situations that may make us feel uncomfortable, group work will allow us to grow our communication skills before going out in the field. Working in groups will help us form various ways to work interprofessional.
