For my last term of my first year I have to find a nursing journal article on one of these subjects: leadership, conflict resolution, legal or ethical issues, or time management, I have to write a one page summary of the article and conclude with a paragraph explaining how this article will impact my role as an LPN. My question is...does anyone know where I can find free nursing journal articles online?? any help with this would be great. thanks
Finding free articles online is a little more difficult. If you can go to a medical library it would be much easier. However, I was thinking that most of the free nursing articles online are the ones that continuing education companies put online. They will usually let you read the articles for free because they make their money from the people who pay them along with the completed questionnaires they turn in to get the continuing education units to apply to their licenses. The subject areas you mention are probably not real popular for continuing education, but I am listing the online links I have for nursing continuing education. I'll leave it to you to go to these sites and look for articles that might fit the subject areas you are looking for.
Something else you could do is just do a web search for those subjects with the word "nursing" in front of them and see if any articles come up. Sometimes an article from a professional publication will be posted on the Internet that you will be able to have access to.
I use medscape...you have to have a username and such, but it saved my butt last semester. It pretty much breaks everything down so it's pretty easy to find the information that you want. Pretty sure it is www.medscape.com
