Hello All

:) Welcome to the site and best wishes to you! :balloons:

moved to general nursing discussion forum for member feedback.

to allnurses.com !!!

and thanks for registering as a new member!

in our forums, you will find all the nursing news, support and direction that you will need as a new or seasoned nurse in the field. we have about 150 forums in total.

let this decision tree help you get started:

if you are a pre-nursing student--->we have a pre-nursing student forum.

if you are a current nursing student--->we have two forums for you.

1) general nursing student discussion forum for support by your peers

2)nursing student assistance forum to help with school projects

if you are a current lpn--->we have the lpn/lvn corner forum and others of interest.

if you are a lpn to rn student---> we have a lpn to rn forum.

if you are a current rn--->we have many forums for you.

if you are in nursing grad school--->we have a graduate student nurse forum

if you are an advanced practice nurse--->we have your specialty forum.

if you are a nurse in career transition--->we have a nursing career advice forum.

and lastly, our list of nursing specialties is exhaustive...each has its own forum.

our list of different forums is located here:---> allnurses list of forums

have a topic to discuss or question to ask? go to the list of forums, pick the forum that best matches, and post in there (pg 13 language always). you will get feedback. so, check back often.

to make a post in a forum, just go to that forum and post like you did here if someone has already created it...your post is a reply response.

to create your own new thread (the first post to start off feedback), you do this:

in any forum, go to the top yellow bar and towards the right, you will see something that reads--> forum tools. it is a pull down menu. click it. in that menu, you will see--> post a new thread. click that.

and there you go.....just follows what it tells you.

if your nursing related question does not fit any particular forum and is a general nursing related topic, post it in our general nursing discussion forum.

I've listed my ideas on possible subjects of this essay.

1. Why this student wants to become a nurse

2. What the student expects to accomplish in nursing

3. Why nursing is a good career selection

How about writing a paper based on what she THINKS a nurse does, then interview a real nurse on what is actually done on the job. Maybe some thoughts after the interview, was it what she thought it would be? Have her views changed about nursing. What are the pros and cons of the profession?

BTW, thanks for the work you do as well! None of us would be here if it weren't for teachers!!!!:)
