Instructions: This essay should be written in the first-person, using “I, me, my” to filter the career narrative through your perceptions. First-person is a great point of view to write in for reflection; however, there are some stylistic complications that you should address when you edit. Note: Open your draft of the Career Narrative Essay from Week 4. Complete the activities below: Highlight every “I” pronoun in your essay, and then look for clusters where you start multiple sentences in a row with “I.” Combine and/or rewrite sentences in places where you overuse “I.” In addition, underline any words or phrases that are overused, and cut and/or revise accordingly. Here is an example: Original sentences: I have extensive experience, and I love working with homeless veterans. I have experience working in mental health outreach, and my experience working in homeless communities makes me proud. Revised sentence: I worked with homeless veterans and did mental health outreach in Chicago. Notice the revised sentence references the same ideas in the original sentences but doesn’t repeat personal pronouns or the word “experience.” After you have analyzed your essay for overuse of pronouns and repeated words/phrases and made changes accordingly… Read through your essay again, reflect on how it has changed, and then answer the questions directly below. In at least one paragraph (5-7 sentences), reflect on your use of I, other personal pronouns, and repetitive language. What did you learn and how did your essay change? How can you apply what you have learned to other writing projects in the future? Edit your essay for tense and transition use. Instructions: In this essay, you move the reader through time, focusing on your past, present, and future skills, goals, and accomplishments. When your essay shifts tenses, it needs to be clear for your reader. Not only do transitions and transitional phrases connect ideas in your essay, they can also move the reader through time to make your tense shifts more effective and clearer. Complete the activities below: Read your essay for changes in tense. When you move from talking about the past to the present or future, are those changes clear? Find all of the places where you shift between the past, the present, and the future. Hint: Look at the verbs (action words). They will help you figure out where you are in time. Where can you add transitions and transitional phrases to help the reader follow you through time? Click the link below to read about transitions:https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/paragraphs/transitions Edit your entire essay for transition use. Add, cut, change passages where you use transitions and transitional phrases. Identify one specific change or idea that came from analyzing your essay for transition use, and reflect on how you can use this editing strategy in your future writing projects. Proofread for tone of voice. Instructions: Tone of voice is the way your writing sounds in a reader’s head. It is affected by sentence structure, word choice, repetition, and the use of punctuation, among other factors. A consistent and compelling tone of voice will keep a reader engaged in your Career Narrative Essay. The voice you develop should establish you as a unique and marketable professional to a potential employer. Complete the activities below: Read the introduction and conclusion sections out loud. You can find and fix any errors or awkward writing as you do this. Do they have a consistent, first person tone of voice? Does the writing/narration sound conversational, engaging, and does it flow well? Analyze the tone of voice in those two paragraphs, and make minor changes to word choice, phrasing, and punctuation as needed. Avoid repeating words, phrases, and certain punctuation marks, like exclamation points and question marks. Then, analyze the body paragraphs for tone of voice. Read out loud and make adjustments as you go. Change words and phrases, edit passages that sound different from the rest of the essay, and adjust punctuation marks as needed. Find all the places in your essay where you use evidence (quotes or summaries). Read these areas aloud. Where you talk about evidence likely sound more scholarly than the rest of your essay where you use a conversational tone. This is to be expected. You can easily connect these areas with the rest of your ideas by using transitional words to make the tone of voice sound more consistent. Write at least one paragraph (5-7 sentences) reflecting on how the tone of voice in your essay has changed over the past weeks. Give at least one concrete example of a substantial change you made in this revision to achieve a more effective tone of voice. Be specific. Explain how your awareness of tone will affect your approach in future writing projects. Read your essay one last time. Instructions: At this stage, you have spent so much time with your draft that it is hard to be objective. Oftentimes, our eyes see what we intend to write, not what we have actually written.

Running Head: NURSUING 0 Name: Chuka Nnadozie Date: 3/28/21 Role of nurses in the society According to D’Antonio, “history helps one better understand the factors that affect social policy. Nursing’s social and healing significance cannot be overlooked in the larger context of public health and its effect on social change” (D’ Antonio, 2019). Individuals who are nearest to the social challenges work together to create strategies that solve social issues, which is known as social change. Nurses play an important role in the healthcare sector. They not only offer excellent care and service to patients, but they also fight for people every day. They work hard to ensure that patients obtain the best treatment today, and they are dedicated to improving the standard of care in the future. Nurses encourage wellness by educating patients and the general public on how to avoid disease and injury, delivering treatment and aiding in the cure, engaging in healing, and providing assistance. No other medical professional plays such a wide and diverse role. Nurses assist families in gaining a better understanding of the social, physical, behavioral, and life diversity they face during wellness and illness. They do much more than look after patients. They’ve certainly been at the frontline of health-care and public-health reform. Florence Nightingale, is known as the “founding mother of modern nursing,” but she also gathered evidence to show that the leading cause of death in the Crimean War was infections caused by poor sanitation, not enemy fire. She was a trailblazing statistician who was undoubtedly the first in history to use graphical representations to convince politicians to take action. Today’s college trained nurses tend to respect their own qualitative insights when it comes to producing valuable research information on important topics. Nurses control people’s health on a daily basis. Their continuous presence, observation skills, and diligence allow physicians to make more reliable diagnosis and treatment decisions. Numerous lives have been rescued as a result of a diligent nurse spotting early warning signs of imminent emergencies such as heart arrest or renal distress. They are the lifeblood of the health-care system. They have a lot of experience taking care of people and following hospital guidelines and procedures. They have a good understanding of their patients and can see firsthand how treatment is improving their wellness (Smiley et al, 2018). Nurses use their expertise and voice to campaign for patients on their clinical staff, ensuring that they receive the treatment they need. Nurses also play a significant role in developing hospital-wide strategies for patient and family-centered care (Soltis et al, 2017). And nurses don’t just work in hospitals. They campaign for health-care reforms in amendments that would support patients and increase the affordability and quality of care in the state and around the world. They are dedicated to caring for and fighting for all individuals, whether it’s a patient they encounter about once a health check, a patient they serve on a regular basis in an in-patient facility, or patients they’ve never encountered in another country. Most nurses’ focus in pursuing the nursing profession is out of the deep passion they have in the field. Helping and reaching out people with different types of challenges is always a significant endeavor in their lives. Being at the front line in offering complementary service to patients is certainly their role. In conclusion, nurses play a significant role in offering both health care services and societal services. They not only offer excellent care and service to patients, but they also fight for people every day. Their impact is always great; hence touching many lives on a daily basis. No other medical professional plays such a wide and diverse role in the society (Soltis et al, 2017). References Smiley, R. A., Lauer, P., Bienemy, C., Berg, J. G., Shireman, E., Reneau, K.
