This article is to help increase the future nurses awareness of the importance of learning technical writing skills in
order to become a qualified professional in the healthcare field. The nursing field is enormous and it is essential
to understand how to write during the nursing career. There are different career pathways. For instance,
hospitals, nursing homes, community centers, hospices organizations, rehabilitation clinics, public health clinics,
or a doctors office are some of the career pathways. Many healthcare facilities are organized in units such
as cardio, pediatric, obstetric, emergency, surgical, oncology as well as many others. The nurse has the most
direct contact with a patient. That increases the importance of writing well to ensure that the nurse will evaluate
and provide all the information about the patient while charting and documenting the patients medical record.
A future nurse needs to know how to communicate with different types of people. For example, nurses may
write for doctors, other departments, patients, family members, and other nurses. Keep in mind that writing
as a Professional Nurse provides three general, though important, rules working nurses should keep in
mind while writing reports and charts and while communicating with doctors and patients.(Purdue` owl).
One of the rules explain concepts to a specific audience. For example, you might write a report about
a medical procedure for your boss or write to a patients family about how to treat a medical condition.

life. Most of the writing are about the patient documentation and facts. Many of these documents can go to a
court during an investigation. If care or treatment due to a patient is not recorded, it can be assumed that it has
not happened. Poor record keeping can therefore mean you are found Negligent. Even if you are confident that
you provided the correct care. This may cause you to lose your right to practice.(Community eye health journey).
