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.
