    Hi Pumi! Thank you for posting. You brought up some great points. I like the way you talked about cleaning rooms and equipment.

    Hi Melanie! I completely agree, it is such a key element. The speed at which healthcare as a whole worked during the height of the pandemic is crazy to think about! We changed the whole world in what felt like overnight!

    Hi Ava! I agree with Melanie, that’s a great way to remember the difference between the two! Measurable data is great but I like having the “story” with the research too, otherwise I start to go cross eyed and everything looks the same HAHA.

    Hi Marie! I love how you described quantitative research. It’s exact but still manipulable! I totall agree on the lack of context as well.

    Your idea of the perfects versus the uglies is literally a movie (based on a book series), which is gene editing when you hit 18. LOL movie writers come up with everything these days! It’s such a tricky can of worms because we can always say it’s only for disease and mothers who can’t carry a child, and then all the exceptions come in. A movie star is filming a movie, so she can’t carry a child. A famous politician doesn’t want to risk his child having the recessive genes and not looking like him. The rules don’t apply the same way to everyone, unfortunately.

    When you said “Although I think that if we continued with gene editing, have a natural family would become unappealing.” I instantly thought of every sci-fi movie about divides created in natuaral and artificial combined worlds. That thought ever crossed my mind. This could lead to so many other issues down the line!

    Thank you for sharing, Pumi! It is always so intriguing to me to hear about the upbringing and culture in other countries. I always find you to be so respectful, and you do greet all of us when you come into class or as we enter. It makes me feel seen, and I appreciate that. Isn’t it funny how certain things like greeting strangers was instilled in us as children but we wouldn’t dare teach that to our kids nowadays?

    Thank you for sharing! I grew up in a town very similar, and as I grew up, I started to see and understand the drug problems. I also never wanted to get stuck in that. Pretty much, if you don’t get out right after high school, then you never will. That was my fear. It took me a little longer, but thank goodness I did it! I’m glad we were both able to fight it and come out on top!

    I think you made a great point about the internet being both helpful and harmful to writers. Like you, I agree with Doctorow’s view that it can influence creativity in positive ways. It’s interesting how exposure to different styles and ideas can help us grow, yet also risk making our writing less original. Finding that balance is key to maintaining our unique voice. Overall, your reflection shows a thoughtful understanding of how the internet impacts creativity.

    You make a great point about how the internet can be distracting and even overwhelming when trying to write. I agree that writing is an art form, and tapping into your own thoughts often leads to more original and meaningful work. At the same time, I think the internet can be a useful tool if used with intention and boundaries. It’s all about finding the right balance between inspiration and distraction. Everyone’s creative process is different, so what works for one person might not work for another.

    I like the visual of throwing away the junk words! It will help us remember the concept. I find that when I’m in stressful situations, people add so many junk words to the situation. I end up cutting them off and saying something along the lines of, “Just give me the question.” If you want me to solve something, then give me the problem, not the back story.

    It can be easy to forget that everyone’s health literacy is different when we start typing notes and planning patient teaching! I hope it becomes second nature for all of us and isn’t somehting we need to “work” at. Keeping things clear and concise makes it so much easier for everyone and the American Nurse Jounral will be a fantastic resource.

    Hi Pumi. That is a great quality to have! I love knowing people who want to share their knowledge with other people. Even better, you make sure the information is factual! I have ended conversations with something along the lines of “I could be wrong though, so don’t quote me” haha.

    Hi Ava, I also love Colleen Hoover, I could not put Verity down! I like that you really went into detail on all the things you can do with narrative writing. It’s so easy to forget all the different things that qualify as narrative writing. Thanks for sharing you’re writing style with us all.

    Hi Marie, my grandmother on my dad’s side immigrated from the Dominican Republic! I don’t speak any Spanish, unfortunately. I wish I knew a second language. It must be so hard learning a third language and now going to school! I have faith in you, we will all make it through this.
