Welcome!

Hello, Lsherry9, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Hello Lauren! My name is Amy and I am studying Nutritional Sciences at Michigan State. I am trying to get the hang of using Wikipedia, and especially using Wiki code when responding to Talk pages. Anyways, good luck this semester! --Kuzavaam (talk) 15:27, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction-Week 2

Hi Lauren,

My name is Lindsey and I am one of your classmates in IAH 209. I was also shocked how easy it is to be a contributor. I have used Wikipedia many times for research projects and school assignments, but have never made my own Wiki page or edited anything on Wikipedia. I am intrigued to learn more about how to navigate, create, and use the resourceful tools to make my own article on Wikipedia! I am a Human Biology major and planning to pursue a career as a Physician Assistant. I am currently working as a Certified Nursing Assistant in order to obtain my direct patient care hours to apply to PA school. Do you have to get any volunteer hours or shadow experience in order to get into nursing school? I was also interested in taking this IAH course to read articles and books containing information relating to the medical field and to possibly expand my knowledge on medical topics. In my spare time I love to run, play intramural soccer at Michigan State University, volunteer, shop, and watch movies. I love to be busy and always be moving! If I had time during my undergrad I would have loved to participate in a study abroad for a semester because I love to travel and see new places around the world. I think I am going to go on a medical mission trip next year to Honduras, which I am so excited for! Have you studied abroad or had an interest to?

Good luck with Nursing school!

Hi Lauren!

My name is Debrieana. I am a sophomore here at Michigan State, also taking IAH 209. I am majoring in human biology on a pre-med track, hoping to one day be a Pediatrician. Do you plan to be a specialized nurse or work in a specific area, such as the NICU? I wish you the best of luck with nursing school and your career in general! It's also really cool how you take a lot of pride in knowing and learning about your Native American culture. I think learning and knowing about your culture is very important because culture plays a major role in society and life in general. At first when I seen we would be doing things on Wikipedia such as editing articles, it seemed really intimidating because of all of the writing and things that go into creating the articles and also, wanting to make sure the information is good.

Good luck in the class! --Djack21 (talk) 02:40, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Hi, Lsherry9 -- welcome to Wikipedia! As Ian mentioned, the Teahouse is a great resource for new editors. But did you know that Wikipedia also has an extensive help library for common questions? Of course, if you run into a question or problem, you're always welcome to get in touch with me either by email or on my talk page. Happy editing!

Forensic Nursing Peer Review

Dear Lauren, I really like your topic choice and your additions to the article. You add two in depth responsibilities of the nurses to the article that were not present before. These new topics really add to the article and go further into the many jobs of forensic nurses. Your additions strengthen the whole section on “Role and Responsibilities”. Furthermore, I like your incorporation of multiple sources for each section you added. This is something I am going to use in my article, as I need to use more sources for the sections I added instead of just one for each. I would maybe add a few more sections to the article and discuss other jobs of forensic nurses perhaps, if there are more that is. I would maybe also add a little bit more to the history of forensic nursing. The most important thing you could do for the article is find more information not related to role and responsibilities but to the other sections of the article, and even create new sections. I know there is not a lot of information on this topic but there is not a great balance of information, as 90 percent of the article is under the Role and Responsibilities section. Overall, you had great additions to the article. You did a very good job of organizing and presenting your information. Good luck with the rest of your project.
