Hi Ava! I agree that there are both pros and cons to technology. It can be used to save lives and bring life into the world. But it can also harm, which would ultimately be our faults for creating flawed technology devices. It is hard to determine the best course of action sometimes regarding technology and medical advances, that is when we need to rely on evidence based practices to see what has worked best.
Hi Pumi, I completley agree with you. We as humans and people need to draw the line somewhere. God made us who we are and trying to change fate and what he has planned is dangerous. We are no longer being truly human when we let technology make what our bodies were meant to. What is meant to be will be.
Hi Marie! I like that you included how qualitative can be misinterpreted but Quantitative can lack context due to it being just exact numerical data. I guess you could say that in order for a complete study you would need to express both data. Definitely helpful for understanding the information.
Hi Ava! I like how you said that it made you think of subjective and objective! That is a really good comparison that makes it easier to remember. Both qualitative and subjective are both useful information to include but quantitative and objective are more concrete data.
Hi Pumi! The direct eye contact being a sign of disrespect is so different compared to the U.S. eye contact like you said. My Dad’s side of the family were pretty lenient with kids behaviors growing up. However, I remember my mom’s side being very different and more strict. When going to my great grandparents house we had to dress our best and were not allowed to be rowdy as kids or play around the adults. We had to greet my Italian grandparents and all family members with kisses on both cheeks. We also had to make direct eye contact with them like you said to show respect.
Hi Selva! That is an amazing way to grow up surrounded by family. It is definitely different than what I was used to growing up with a family of four in a small house. Having those family members so close and accessible when you need support must have been beneficial. I can imagine especially when having children, it is good to have family right there to help you as the saying goes “it takes a village” when talking about raising kids. I considered my family to be relatively close with our extended family members growing up so it is interesting to hear how much closer you really were to yours! It makes me think what my life might have been more like had my family all lived together. I would like to know more about how making family decisions together with that many people went. Imagining my family, there would be a lot of bickering about decision making for sure!
Hi Ava! Saying that the internet can be both a blessing and a curse is such a true statement! For writers I’m sure they can use it to their advantage to help them write. But I can also see how it could become a distraction or shift their thinking. If they gain new information on what they are writing about, what if its negative and skews their previous ideas? I’m sure there are many avenues of give and take when writing and using the internet.
Hi Cristina! I totally agree that it is way too easy to be distracted from notifications. The internet and technology devices we use everyday definitely have their pros and cons. To think about all the information that is at our fingertips and we only use such a small percent. Do not disturb can be a great tool and have lots of advantages for sure.
Hi Cristina! I love that you referenced the fluff! When reading through a dense amount of writing to find the main topic, it is so easy to get lost. It is also just as important to highlight the ability to ask questions like you said! If we are able to condense the information to a straight forward point there would be more time for patient questions and clarification if needed!
Hi Pumi! I completely agree with you. Using clear and concise communication in health care is essential. Without it, there can be any amount of preventable mistakes happening. I really liked that you highlighted on the fact that not everyone has the same health literacy or understanding for medical terminology. As nurses we have to be proactive about ensuring our patient teaching is on point!
Hi Marie! It is so cool that you were involved in a debate club! Being persuasive can definitely be a key component in a debate. I personally wish that I had joined a debate club because I also love to argue and persuade my points once my mind is made up. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Hi Cristina! I totally hear you about the argumentative part! I also used to love writing short stories and getting very descriptive so that the reader could visualize what I was. Thanks for sharing your part, it definitely sounds like you! I am also excited to see what everyone else thinks!
Hi Ava! I totally can relate to your commute for our program. I have a camp up in northern Maine and eventually would like to live in Maine so i am jealous! I also like to fish and go camping. I’m looking forward to going through this next year with you!
Hi Pumi! It’s very cool to hear that you did phlebotomy! I also have learned to enjoy cooking, especially over the past few years. I love to hear that you are following your Grandma’s footsteps because my great grandmother was also a nurse who was a very amazing role model during my upbringing. Im very excited to get through this next year with you!
