You also have to have a high quality post from a content perspective. This means it also needs to do more than agree with or praise a class mate. If you agree with a classmate, explain why, give an example, share what you learned in the reading

Military spouses is a professional journal I would love to present my proposal. This is where I think the change needs to start at and focus on. This journal is not necessarily a professional journal but it reaches many military spouses who can use the information to help facilitate the changes needed in the military healthcare system. The VA also has many healthcare conferences throughout the United States and has specific committees specifically for PTSD and mental wellness so this might be a good option to propose a change to survey questions and how we address PTSD in the military community. I was very disappointed in our last base when the month of June is designated by the Department of Defense (DOD) and there was only a small announcement that is was PTSD awareness month. There were no presentations, conferences, health fairs etc. so this should also be addressed with the PTSD committee.

Another professional journal is the Journal for Professional Nursing, this journal reaches a wider range audience and will be important to incorporate the civilian world with the military. It is hard for civilians to understand the military medical issues and vice versa. Military members get a huge shell shock when they retire or separate from the military and do not understand how the health care system works in the civilian world.
