Start up/Welcome

It was very difficult coming up with a blog topic for myself. I don’t blog; I never have and probably will not after this class. Blogging is not a bad thing to me, it is just something I was never fond of. I do however use social networks. I have a Facebook and Twitter but rarely do I ever stay on one topic and I think that’s the point. I could post a picture of me watching TV and then in another status post write I am going to make French fries. The point is one post for the most part is never related to the next post. In blogging or having a blog you are focusing in on one single topic. I personally found this hard because what I have to say about a particular topic I can get it out in a two to three page essay and be done with the single topic all together because that’s what I am use to. I never really liked stretching a topic out like the high school graduation requirement of a five full page research paper. Really not fun. Through the many Google searches I did of “blog post topic” every single pulled response said the same thing, “Write about something that interest you.” From that simple and annoying advice I began to think about all the things that interest me. I thought I could write about me becoming a nurse but I knew that I could not make sixteen blog posts about that topic without repeating myself a few times throughout the many weeks. Also, I started my long track to becoming a registered nurse started in high school so the majority of what I said would be about stuff not really relevant to nursing at times. The next idea I had was to talk about four places I wanted to travel to and write four blogs about each place but I could not put any personal comments in to the posts because I have never been to any of the places. The research I did of the places and blogs I did find that I could have used as resource in the blogs had the options of other people so I said that would not work either. Finally I thought I need to just stick to something that has to do with the health field, because this is where majority of my interest lies. This is where I came up with the idea of “Contributors to Medicine.” The one post I really was anticipating writing about is the use of snake venom. Along with the research I found many other species you thought didn’t do anything for humans that actually do. I personally find this topic very interesting and I hope that you will too.
