Post 4: Professional Blog Analysis

I have always wanted to become an RN, but never took the leap of courage to become one. What finally gave me that final push to take that leap was an experience I have gone through personally. My husband and I got married in 2017 and have been trying to start a family since then. Unfortunately, I struggle with infertility due to some health issues I have. Going through this fertility journey has allowed me the opportunity to see the setting inside of the hospitals. I knew that I wanted to be an RN, but I did not know what specialty I wanted to pursue. I have always wanted to help others in any way I can but experiencing the things I have seen in my fertility journey helped me find what I feel will be great for me. This journey led me to having the goal of becoming a postpartum / mother-baby nurse! The blog created by this postpartum nurse gives me insight as to what a shift could intel. I can see what I would be going into with this choice of career. In the blog post "A Day in the Life of a Postpartum Nurse" Sarah states "Feeling a bit delirious, I give report to the day shift nurses. I say goodbye to each of my patients and introduce them to their new nurse. One of my patients gives me a big hug and expresses how much I helped her survive the night. My heart swells as I walk out of the room thinking, “This is what makes it all worth it.” Having the opportunity to one day to learn the knowledge to be able to help new moms and their babies gives my heart great comfort. I may not be able to be a mom myself as of now, so learning how to and being able to help someone who can is something I have a powerful desire for. This blog gives me excitement and knowledge of what I can be looking forward to in daily life as a mother-baby nurse!

    It's incredible to see how your personal experiences influenced so heavily on your career choices. I actually had considered a similar path due to my own health problems – I thought for several years I would perhaps want to study the development of diseases, but over time I simply had to settle into a career choice that felt more possible for me. I'm so glad you are working towards a path you're so passionate about, and I wish the best for your on your journey for a family.

Post 7: MLA style for academic documents discussion

Writing in general is already a daunting task for myself. When you start to have guidelines added in such as having to use a certain format like MLA style it becomes even more so then. Forming Proper MLA style for academic documents is an area I know that I need more work in. When it comes to the MLA format within my academic paper my biggest weakest is forming the cite page. I know that I must give the sources the proper credit. I know that when adding the citations, I need to make sure I put the author, the title, the publisher, the published date, the URL, the accessed date. The part I struggle with the most though is knowing what parts need to italic and which parts should not. I double guess myself and then I am at a point of uncertainty preventing me from finishing a correct work cited page. I intend to clarify my struggles with the work cited page in MLA format for my academic papers by doing thorough research on how a proper citation is formed and the aspects of it. I can also ...

Post 08: Civil and Courteous Discussion

The thing is with the world and people now these days is everyone has an opinion. While of course most of them do not agree. One person can believe one thing while the other believes the complete opposite. Therefore, it makes situations more difficult, especially when it comes to political matters. When one feels a certain way about a matter, when presented with something that does not align with their opinion, you run into the not so civil and courteous side of people. I have seen the nasty comments people make to each other when their opinions are different. It is absolutely insane in my opinion. But hey that is just another opinion, right? Imagine a law being passed that you are totally against while someone is for it. We have no control over the law and us complaining about it is not going to help matters. It is only going to cause more separation between people. Is it necessary for us as a society to cut down on each other because you believe in something else? Everyone is entitle...

Post 12: The advantages and disadvantages of doing peer reviews.

Although peer reviews have advantages and disadvantages, in my opinion the good outweighs the bad. While peer reviews may give you fear of other writers' judgment. That fear can also be used to push yourself to apply your all and to not procrastinate when it comes to your deadlines for writing assignments. If you know that you have a peer review coming, then you're going to want to make sure you at least attempted the assignment. Afterall, can a peer review be done if you give them nothing to review? Would you rather look like a slacker with nothing? For myself that answer would be no. I rather give my peer a written rough draft to actually provide me some useful feedback. You just have to remember that your first draft is never your final draft. Peer reviews are a useful tool in writing for both the writers and readers. The point of a peer review is meant to help you, not hurt you. Learn to accept that feedback and embrace it.
