Hello everyone, I am a freshman at East Carolina University as well as an intended nursing major. Although I have yet to declare. Im doing an assignment in my writing composition course about various types of writing in the profession I'd like to pursue and was wondering if any of you guys would care to answer a few questions for me. Just to have some feedback and provide insight for the 2 things I enjoy most, nursing and writing. If you could also put some of your background or credentials that'd be awesome too. Like, for example. Jane Doe RN at Garden Memorial Hospital.
1) What are the most common and most important kinds of writing completed by nurses? Why are these common and important?
2) For what purposes and in what contexts will you need to do the most writing?
3) What kinds of topics and issues will you most often be dealing with in your writing?
4) What audiences will you be expected to address most often?
5) What the textual characteristics (length, style, tone, format, medium, etc) of the most common kinds of writing that you will need to complete?
6) In what ways is the writing done in the nursing profession similar to the writing done in nursing college and prerequisite classes preparing for the major?
7) In what ways is the writing different in the nursing profession from the writing done preparing for the major?
8) If any of you guys have been apart of the nursing profession for a long period of time, have you guys noticed a shift in the accuracy of writing since technology has become so advanced?
