Sketches of Mine
This piece is one of mine well most of my sketches that start out with a cube and working out from that point. In the drawings are also squares and triangles as well. This one could be titled 'alien child' or anything that you think it may be. All of sketches so far have been done on this lined paper. These sketches all started off with me drawing just a regular cube and shooting off from there with triangles and squares and at times in other sketches that I plan to share circles.

'This Side of Paradise'
Here is a critique of a classic novel that I just finished about a week ago. The name of the novel is 'This Side of Paradise'. The author is quite famous for a lot of his work. His name is F. Scott Fitzgerald. My idea is to start reading or even re-reading and offering reviews and critiques of my collection of classic novels that I have bought over the years.

The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project and Research for Advanced Practice Nurses
The next two textbook reviews are 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project' and 'Research for Advanced Practice Nurses'. In the first textbook to be reviewed it is mainly describing what a terminal graduate degree in nursing is all about. 'The Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Project A Framework for Success' is written by three women who are Katherine Moran, Rosanne Burson, and Dianne Conrad. As said above this is a book for students who are studying for a terminal graduate degree as a Doctor of Nursing Practice. The students may already be nurse practitioners but who want to do more for their patients or clients. This is a book that covers what the Doctor of Nursing Practice is all about from the history and the why nurses become doctor practitioners.

The Practice of Nursing Research and Munro's Statistical Methods for Healthcare Research
The next two textbooks that I have read and reviewed were 'The Practice of Nursing Research Appraisal, Synthesis and Generation of Evidence' and 'Munro's Statistical Methods for Healthcare Research'. The Munro textbook is one that teaches about all the math that one may need to do research in this area. The other textbook is one where authors show their experiences in writing and doing research.

It is also a book that covers the various kinds of assessments that cover the whole body and all the systems from head to toe from the respiratory procedures to cardio to reproductive and hormones to the muscles and bones and even the skin.

Are You a Counselor?
In reading a counseling skills textbook that I am currently reviewing, which is entitled 'Counseling Skills' by Traci Postings I came across many activities that to me would make good articles. In the first chapter there is an activity to see if you could be a counselor, and these are my responses to these questions. When I was a LPN and working with the geriatric patients and leading or assisting in activity groups this was when I wanted to learn how to be a counselor or at least use the modalities that counselors used for various therapies like art, music, play, etc.
