(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.  

My most important source was a article (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos083.htm) about Registered Nurses. In this article it described their Basic Job Description, the different types of RNs specializing in type of treatment, disease, body system, Training qualifications needed, Job outlook and the salary they make. I found this to be my most important source because it helped me understand what a RN does day to day and what is needed in order to become one.
