Nursing
The topic I am choosing to study and learn more about is nursing. I chose this topic because I hope to pursue this career and study it going into college. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to become a nurse. At the beginning of my freshman year I started thinking about life as a pediatric nurse, emergency room nurse, or a maternity nurse. With that being said this topic interests me and I would love to learn more about it.
Essential Questions
What are the roles and functions of maternal-neonatal nursing?
What is a day like as a nurse?
What is the hardest part about being a nurse?

The book, Maternal-Neonatal Nursing by Wolters Kluwer has 500+ pages. I am planning to mainly focus on reading and completing my four other books, but I do however want to skim through different pages of this book because it has a lot of information that could be useful and important in answer some of my essential questions and blogs.
Julia,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome. My Mom is a nurse practitioner, and one of my sisters is a nurse as well, so I can definitely appreciate this profession. It was also so important to have attentive nurses when my daughter was born and was in special care. My only concern is that your middle two essential questions are factual. Please revise so they are open-ended. Thanks.
