Assignment Task: Family and Societal Nursing for RNs
Family Free Write Assignment Description:
Family Free Write:
Early in the course, each student will write a 2-page (minimum 250 words and no more than 500 words) open write on four topics.
1. Healthy Families-250-500 words (Module One)
2. Family during Acute Care Experience-250-500 words (Module Two)
3. Family in Crisis or Trauma-250-500 words (Module Three)
4. Chronic Illness Experience-250-500 words (Module Five)
The free write is not an edited piece of work, but you must use at least two sources for each topic. The work will be evaluated for its clarity, creativity, and relevance. Please write about your thoughts, insights, stories, cases, examples, experiences, for that particular topic. These papers may be used to complete the Family Theory Interview Project later on in the course.
This free write is meant to help you access your deepest and most powerful feelings about family, as well as building on your past and your developing knowledge of family: academically, professionally, and personally.
The 250-500 word free write on healthy families (for example, there are four categories), may include ideas gleaned from your text, stories from your childhood, something you read in the newspaper, a novel or poem, or an interaction you witnessed in the grocery story. The objective of the free write is to help you decide what most interests you in family health nursing and what literature you might use for your annotated bibliography and your final research work with a family. Examination of the course topics will organize your thoughts and focus your ideas on the desired outcomes of the learning you are doing.
This is not an edited piece of work. This material is rich in image, story and insight. The free write is meant in part to get in touch with this material. Thoughts from your readings may also be included and will spark new ideas unique to you. Use at least two resources (do not need to be scholarly) in your initial post for full points.
