4550- Evidence Based Nursing

Nursing Students Ohio University

Published

From looking at the classes starting in fall, I'm guessing that Evidence Based nursing is replacing Research? Anyone have any idea if stats is still required prior to taking this, as it was with Research?

I don't have a clue what to write about for this last db post. I really think everything we do is evidence based...I it's not, then it's part of a study! I can think of things the physicians do that are not evidence based...which does effect patient care...an nursing. I may end up going that route.

Those articles from AHRQ are making my head spin!

You are READING them? I went straight to the conclusions section ... all I need to know is right there!

That's all I read...just a summary!

Just skimmed over the whole article -- not necessary reading them. I did get the info basically from conclusions.

I had the right answers and the right definitions but lost 5 points because I did not write about the correction. I'm pretty angry too because the directions in the announcement did not include writing about the correction. There have been multiple changes to the assignments over the last four weeks and all the changes were posted in the announcements so I went with those. Grrr. I posted about it on the Q&A discussion board. We'll see what happens.

If it's any consolation, the original directions to that assignment (quiz) didn't state anything about "writing a correction," which is probably why no one did that???

I read the chapters and feel pretty clueless. It's like my mind just won't accept the information, lol. Soooooo ready to move on!

Yep. Me too.

For those who have already submitted the Wk 5 DB post, how did you handle citations & references? Our instructions were that the assignment had two parts, one dealing with EBP and the other with AHRQ articles. For the latter, we were instructed to choose 3 reports and write at least one sentence about each, commenting on the evidence presented. This will require 3 references, which would mean that we could not have any references for the EBP part of the assignment.

How did you keep to the three reference limit - or didn't you?

Per my TA: use the references required for the first part of the assignment then reference the AHRQ site for the articles. I asked the same thing. One reference for the 3 articles.

Haven't even started on week 5...only have one grade back on one DB for week 4. Lost 1/2 point for APA something or other.

I have a feeling I will lose points on the validity assignment because I did not really address the correction portion of the assignment. Did not notice it till after I submitted. Ho Hum.

I don't recall seeing anything about correcting anything. All I did was identify the threat and briefly explain why it was a threat. Didn't lose any points.
