Review process

The few questions I have would be one: 

What kind of classes will I have to take?\

What's the worst part of working in the medical field? 

What type of working environment do nurses work in?

Observation complete

My observation took place in the emergency room of St. Joesph hospital at about 10:00pm on a Tuesday.  I wanted to do it there because it related to my research topic.  Anyway there were a lot of nurses and doctors very busy. The emergency room was full as it usually is.  People were in there for various reasons.  All of a different race or background.  Some are screaming in pain and others are sitting there as though nothing is wrong.  I watched the nurses and doctors work on each patient.  Some of the staff were overly nice and others were not so nice.  The waiting room is pretty nice size. Over all it was interesting to sit there and observe and really watch what they are doing and how some staff really hate there job.  For me and it just allowed me too see that I really will enjoy my job.  Work load will be very but to help people makes all worth wild.  So that's my observation.

Research topic 2

For this paper I have chosen to write on option 1.  It will be about Nurse Practitioners and Primary Care.  I chose this because what I have found out already is medical boards and legislators want to take away practices from non physicians including nurse practitioners.  I chose this also because it is something I would need to know about since this is what I want to pursue.  

Interview Results

After completing my interview I found that I learned what I expected to.  I learned about the amount hard work and schooling it takes to become a Nurse Practitioner.  I learned the difference between a RN and a Nurse Practitioner.  Everything I learned was really interesting though to gain this information someone actually working in the field.  To get this information I asked questions along the lines describe your education and experience, and describe your what your job entails specifically if you work in a special field etc.  I enjoyed learning about what my job and career will be like and how rewarding it will be to help people in need.  Overall,  I learned a lot and gave all the information I had gathered credibility because it was I know someone who has been through it.

Research reflection

When I think about my research topic I find that I am pleased with my topic because it's what I want to pursue as my career and it only makes sense to write about my career choice.  I find that this would be the best thing for me write about, because it would allow me the opportunity to learn more about what my own profession.  No I would not do any thing differently.  What's exciting about my topic is reading about how there are a lot of different special areas and how they are taught to save lives.  The only thing that troubles me in completing the research is what I going to focus on completely in my paper.  It's a difficult decision because it's so much I can write about makes it tough to decide.  But other than that I can say that the project is going  fine and I know when I find my focus it will be a great paper.

Artfifact

My artifact is a book.  It was written by many authors.  It was written at a a hospital full of Nurses. It was recently in 2012.  I believe it was written to inform aspiring to become a Nurse Practitioner.  To give a Nurses perspective on the job and what it entails. This my artifact and what is does.

Citations

My books have not arrived yet so I cannot cite them here.  I am very sorry that they have not arrived yet.  This is a citation for popular print periodical, the name of a scholarly journal, and two articles about an important date "The Nurse Registration Act 1901."  The databases only had two articles regarding that particular important date. Here are all the citations.
