Article Draft - Pediatric Nursing
Questions to discuss in the essay:

everything in the article is related to the articles title. I was not distracted by anything in the article.

the article talks about being a pediatric nurse in other countries such as Australia, southern and eastern Africa and when talking about Australia the article underrepresented the topic.

the links do work in the article and they give good information to back up the topics being discussed

the references are reliable, they include the nursing certification board which gives information on the education section of the article, there is references that take you to a nursing course website that explain how to become a pediatric nurse, and so on. I would say that all of the references are neutral and correspond well with the article. they all give clear information to the topics being talked about in the article. There is also a large number of "further readings" to help guide you to further your knowledge on "pediatric nurses"

No information is out of date, there are citations missing from the article.

The article does achieve its rhetorical objective, it informed and educated me on pediatric nurses and gave me a good understanding on their everyday work life.

Notes from the article:

Pediatric nurses are supposed to have quick responses and reasoning in the medical field.

Pediatric nurses work in a numerous amount of environments from hospitals, to critical care centers, to simple doctors offices.

Their goals are to promote health and prevent illness or disease while developing in hospitals or at home health plans for their patients while minimizing the current condition of the paitent. Pediatric nurses need to be understanding and respect the roles of the parents or legal guardian of the child/patient.

Pediatric nurses may not work individually. they can work alongside of pediatric doctors

Pediatric nurses main job in their field is to diagnose and treat common childhood illnesses while making the patient comfortable and adapt to the setting they are in whether that is a hospital or at home with medical equipment and prepare them for surgery. Pediatric nurses also coach parents learn the new ways in which to care for their child's medical needs such as; making them feel comfortable at home, how to use any medical equipment if any, explain the signs to look for in therapy, etc.

Article Proposal & Bibliography

For the article I am editing in Wikipedia, “Pediatric Nursing”, I plan to add a lot of factual information to the sections in the article using my sources and references. I want to try to make the information equal when talking about education, an overview of the job, experience, emergencies, departments, etc as some sections lack information. I want to continue to the rhetorical objective of the article and give readers a better understanding of the readers' education on pediatric nurses and their everyday work life.

Specifically, the first source will be helpful for editing my article because it gives a good overview of the accountability of being a pediatric nurse. The second source will be beneficial especially with my article because it explains what you need to be prepared for before you become a pediatric nurse. I think this information will be super helpful to the, "pediatric nursing" article for anyone who will be reading it. It may be the deciding factor for a future nurse!
