Defining the Essential Question

1) What is your EQ?
What is most essential to being a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN)?

2) Define the words in your EQ to make sure we are on the same page regarding what your EQ means.
"Licensed Vocational Nurse:" I'm focusing into the nursing job as a whole which means that I'm going to elaborate more and talk about other professions in the nursing fields but I will be answering what is most essential to being an LVN as well as the other professions.

"Most essential:" I just mean what is more important; the education you get or the characteristics you need?
3) What are some possible answers to your EQ so far?
Some possible answers are LVNs should have a caring, sympathetic nature and possess strong communication skills. They should be emotionally stable because working with the sick and injured can be stressful. They also should have keen observational, decision-making, and communication skills. As part of a health care team, they must be able to follow orders, detailed instructions and work under close supervision.

4) What has been your most important source and why? Be specific. If it is a person, name them and what they do, if it is an article, book or video, name the title and author.
I believe my most important source is the book I got from the library called, "What Can I Do Now?:Exploring Careers For Your Future" byFerguson Publishing (no specific author). This book has all kinds of different types of nursing careers and has information about the education you need and the requirements to background information, application informtion, finance details, what that type of nursing duties you do, etc.
