On a daily basic writing is extremely important due to the fact that I am a nurse. Certain details require a quick reaction and some can be delayed. Writing is also used a form of commutation with doctors and friends. I also do typing which is consider writing when I am commutating with family or friends. I do continue to read after work hours for example reading a text book or reading a magazine. Writing has help me in my private life also a way to relive some stress I do carry on daily. Writing as a nurse I am always either on a computer writing in a patient chart or writing to a patient. I find that writing in a patient chart is convenient for the Doctor and me. When typing on the computer it has a proven for a better understanding on what’s going on. Talking to a patient about a plan of care can be difficult because they might not understand what you’re saying, to them. By preventing a misunderstanding it’s easier to write it down instructions for them. I find writing things down personally can help me remember things what’s going on around me at work or home. Writing in my field is important because majority of nurses are keeping in contact with doctors. Majority of nurses type in vital signs on a computer and send notes to doctors. When in constant contact with a doctor it is majority of typing back and forth, due to a doctor penmanship. I find writing notes around me can help me remember what’s plan for the day at work. When writing or texting to friends it has help me retract what I said to them.
When sending a text message to a friend or family member it’s the same as writing. It just happens to be different by the way it is delivered to them. Sending text messages improves everyone way of reading and also writing. Majority of some phones have a way to autocorrect themselves. Autocorrect may not be the greatest but it helps older people who aren’t familiar with new writing styles or who have a hard time reading. As working in a doctor office in the hospital I seen a lot more patients use their phones to write instead of using a piece of paper they type it down in there notes on their phone.

As simple as writing is to me I find it the hardest thing to do because I never can put my thoughts all into the right format. Writing at works helps me a lot in general because I am constant contact with other nurses regarding a patient. As a personal achievement, my boyfriend and I wrote letters to each other while he was deployed for a year and six months in Afghanistan. While writing back and forth it has help both of us writing and also express ourselves without using the simplest way to send an email or Facebook. Overall I would say as a student my writing does need improvement but I have come a long way.
