Creativity

When I hand in assignments for first year nursing I find that I am often struck by how tedious and repetitive it can be. I find myself searching for resources just to fill up my reference list. The content seems to also pull away from why I want to be a nurse. In a formal writing setting where there are rules that must be followed to make everything uniform I find that I am bored. The formal essay format seems to stifle creativity for the sake of making it easier to grade. Nursing has so much to do with people, and instead I am writing about reflecting on other people's theories. Of course I respect the fact I have to learn the theories, and I can learn a lot from them but I reflect on everything I do already. I don't know anybody who does not think about their actions afterward.

I agree with you completely. I found my writing for the semester were all kind of repetitive, that is I am reflecting on the same things.

hahaha, I want to smite all caring classes.

...I think that one class is enough,
three, three-hour classes on CARING is just cruel.
