My Annotative Bibliographies
Annotative Bibliography #1: The History of Nursing
"Nursing." Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia (2016):1p. 1. Funk & Wagnalls New
World Encyclopedia. Web. 30 Nov. 2016.
In this annotative bibliography the article goes over the history of nursing and the importance they’ve gained over the years. We often don’t think about where nurses have come from, only their importance to us now. Throughout the entire article they discuss education, functions and duties, organizations, and the history of nursing. By discussing these we get a well rounded view of what nursing really is.
There are many quotes I can use from the article. the first quote is, "...nursing refers to the functions and duties carried out by persons who have had formal education and training in the art and science of nursing.” (Funk & Wagnalls, Intro.). This quote is important because it helps people understand the general definition of nursing. Another quote I can use is, "A nurse must be a teacher, counselor, and manager, promoting and maintaining the health of patients, as well as caring for them when they are ill.” (Funk & Wagnalls, Function and duties). The purpose of this quote is to state the job of an ER nurse is more than just it's general description.
This source is credible because it comes from the most recent encyclopedia published by Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia. Another example of it’s credibility is the fact that it comes from Galileo, a well renowned education website students throughout Georgia use to help them with their research papers or for education in general. This article is also peer reviewed which means doctors and other experts have read through and to guarantee we are not reading false information.
For my project I will potentially use this to help me with the start of my research. I believe every research paper or project should have a strong foundation in understanding what you are researching so you don’t provide people interested in your final product with false information.

Annotative Bibliography #2: Nursing on Television
Weaver, Roslyn, et al. "Nursing On Television: Student Perceptions Of Television's Role In
Public Image, Recruitment And Education." Journal Of Advanced Nursing 69.12
(2013): 2635-2643. CINAHL Plus with Full Text. Web. 7 Feb. 2017.
In this annotation of the scholarly article, Nursing On Television: Student Perceptions Of Television's Role In Public Image, Recruitment And Education, Roslyn Weaver, the author of this article, performs a study to “explore nursing students’ perceptions of how their profession is portrayed on medical television programmes (Weaver 1)”. She collected data from surveys discovering what their viewing habits of medical programmes are and how it affected their view of the medical field itself. This is very important because many medical students go into the field with a obscured view of how things work.
There are many potential quotes I can use from Weaver’s article. For example, I can use this student’s quote to show that, “‘Most shows don’t depict nurses as what we really are. People’s views are skewed as they think nurses “don’t do much”, whereas in reality they are amazed at how much hard work we actually do’ (Student 52)(Weaver 7).” Another great one I can use is media creates “...stereotypes that may damage the appeal of nursing for potential students and denigrate the value and status of the profession(Weaver 1).” Although this is only two quotes there are many more I can use that backup my main statement.
The citation for this source is very reliable. To find this article I was researching Galileo’s database which is a well known educational research site students use in Georgia. This article was also peer-reviewed which means the article has been reviewed by peers of the same profession and made sure there are no mistakes in their facts. Peer-reviewed articles are most used by career professionals or in this case doctors.
I can use this article to help prove my theory that misconceptions people have about the Emergency Room and nursing affect the amount of nurses coming into the medical field. The article provides statistics that mathematically prove my theory and also gives me a better understanding of just how much media affects the lives of us daily.

Annotative Bibliography #3: ER vs. 'ER'
Allgeyer, Katy "ER vs. 'ER': Are Medical TV Shows True to Life as an ED Nurse?" Working Nurse. N.p., n.d. Web. 26 Apr. 2017. http://www.workingnurse.com/articles/ER-vs-ER-Are-Medical-TV-Shows-True-to-Life-as-an-ED-
Nurse.
In the article ER vs. 'ER': Are Medical TV Shows True to Life as an ED Nurse? by Katy Allgeyer she discusses how media has influenced the world around us inaccurately depict the life of the ER. She starts off by talking about how there many medical dramas out there and most of them revolve around the emergency room. The next thing she discussed was how the one thing all emergency room nurses had in common is to expect the unexpected. You never know what will walk through those doors at any minute and it will keep you on your toes. The next thing she talks about is the difference between TV and reality. When you think of the emergency department there are a couple misconceptions that have formed and she helps clear those. Her conclusion is giving quotes from actual ER nurses for their opinions.
Some of the potential quotes I have gathered from this article can all be applied to my project in one way or another. The first one is, "Pop culture has glamorized RNs and MDs for decades, and viewers can’t seem to get enough." (Allgeyer, Channel surf...) This one is very true and helps us realize what we're seeing is most of the time inaccurate. The next quote I found was, "While all nurses share a deeply committed dedication to serving and helping people, the unpredictability of the cases and the flexibility required of the RNs in the ED almost requires an additional adrenaline-seeking mindset to be able to cope with the pace and variety of scenarios presented on a typical 12-hour shift." (Allgeyer, Expect the Unexpected). This quote describes the kind of person an ER nurse is. To truly enjoy the job I think you must have some of this. My last quote from Michelle Wenger is, "As an ED nurse, you are a peds nurse, psyche nurse, trauma nurse, ICU nurse, telemetry nurse and med-surg nurse." (Allgeyer, Expect the Unexpected). That quote stood out the most to me because being an ER nurse you really do get to see it all.
I found this article while researching about misconceptions about the emergency room. On one hand the address for the website is .com so there is bound to be some bias but on the other hand the majority of Allgeyers article deals with quotes from actual emergency room nurses. They know how it is on a day to day basis and are more accurate than any medical drama could ever be.
I can use this article in my project in many various ways. The quotes it gives are very appealing and some of her research deals directly with my project. The difference between TV and reality is a very wide thing and many people don't know.
