Sources Analysis

For Paper one I have to discover the truth about the writing in my future major, nursing. For this paper I needed a couple of sources to educate me on the topic of writing in nursing. In my research I figured out the expectations as well as the ins and outs of the important of Nursing writing. Writing in a health profession is different then any other profession “when people write professionally in the social, educational, or health sciences, they are telling a story about people”(APA).

In regards to the expectations of writing in nursing its pretty set forward what is wanted from nurses. According to Dr. Altmann ““The expectations at the associate degree level is to be clear, concise, and articulate in a short amount of space”. Once you get to the baccalaureate level your expected to be able to write short articles able enough to be published.

             Because of media the most common thing thought of when talking about wiritng and any health proffesion is probably the diagnostics and those big white clipboards they carry around. Although that is a major part of their job the nursingworld.org made it clear that that is not the only thing expected by nurses though. “Nurses Conduct research in practices, and teach about research”. Researching makes up a significant part of a nurses job and carrys many important roles in the work field.

Interview Summary

Writing as a nurse is very complex and requires years of classes to master. “ What helped me the most in my career would be taking upper English classes in college as well as 2 years of Latin, that’s what helped me make my writing so objective” said Rhnea Taylor when asked What helped her the most in her writing for nursing. Now Dr. Taylor, made clear how important English and Latin classes were to her profession and how it made her writing more objective.” As a nurse you cant write subjective, you need to make sure you are objective. They don’t care about your opinions they want the cold hard facts.

Before my interview with Dr. Taylor I believed that most of writing in nursing was just writing diagnostics and reports, but there is a lot more then just diagnostics. To my surprise nursing is a lot more then just diagnostics. “A lot of nursing is researching and learning more about health” said Rhnea Taylor when asked what a majority of writing in nursing was. Researching helps the community with health and furthers your education with health.

Although nursing is not just made up of reports there is a large chunk of nursing that is reports. Reports might be one of the most important parts of writing in a nursing profession. When Dr. Taylor asked what it was like to write diagnostics she replied “When writing diagnostics its important that you write to the point in little words as possible and as legible as possible”.

During my interview with Rhnea Taylor I learned a lot about the truth and the real expectations of writing in nursing. Writing in nursing is something that any one who wants to be a nurse needs to prepare for it is not an easy task, but a very important one.

Grunge music was not pretty and that’s what made it so great, it was raw, full of emotions, and problems that might not have been brought to the medias eyes before hand.“[We are] fudge packing, crack smoking, Satan worshipping, motherfuckers”(Cobain). In appropriate terms, Kurt Cobain knows his music is not seen pretty or clean, but he is proud of the music it makes and the influence it had on society.

According to the L.A Times “He was seen as the voice of a generation adrift” After the death of Kurt Donald Cobain, grunge slowly died with him. Without young Kurt leading them troubled teen in revolt turned ells were for understanding bring an end to grunge music.

Rhetorical Situation

A rhetorical situation is an event in when the context of a paper or other media is aware and has a persuasive undertone. Rhetorical situations relays on the text which is made up of the the reader, writer, and the subject.
   The reader is the audience, knowing the audience will help you make your paper more persuasive on your stance. Having a stance will give your paper purpose and the need to achieve what you want from you paper.
  The writer composes and makes these rhetorical situation. Like there are many different readers there are many different stances, but there is only one writer. There only being one writer means the writer must base his purpose around the audience to invoke emotion.
   The last corner of the Rhetorical triangle is subject. Subject is based upon your purpose, and genera. Your genera basses your tone and text into one catigory.

Intro

Hi,

     My name is Jacob Taylor, and to be honest there's nothing really special about me, at least about where I am from. I grew up in suburban northern Kentucky where the only thing to do was to get in trouble or see the Florence Y'all water tower.
