4550- Evidence Based Nursing

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 found that one as well and it does not open either. I get the same message "not authorized to open" on a big grey and red page. grrrrrrrrrr

If I had taken this class in the beginning I swear I never would have moved on. Cannot Wait to leave an evaluation on this class if I make it to the end.

I'll send it to ya, tweets!

Yep, did it the same exact way and lost one full point. This is the most inconsistent system I've ever seen. So now I'm paranoid about losing any little point that may cause me to fail the course. The librarian had no idea either! So, I fired off an email...we'll see what the brilliant response is. Thanks for your feedback.
How are they to know that you don't subscribe to whatever journal you got the article from? I get the journal of clinical oncology...or something like that. Whether I get the article from an online database or from the print journal in front of me, the reference is the same. Maybe I've been lucky with decent TA's that don't expect that...

The only difference it makes in my citations is if there is no doi. If not, I will put in the entire web address I retrieved it from ... just go back, copy/paste and there ya go! Most journals now have a doi for each article - I am looking at the Journal of Emergency Nursing and each article has a doi. The APA manual talks about electronic retrieval starting on page 188, URL vs DOI. Also gives info/examples starting on pg 198.

Geeze... I think I just might have a post worth DB assignment done. I'm going to look at it again in the morning, but I've spent like 10 hours on this one assignment, and I just want it to be done!

I am really counting my lucky stars we didn't have to do the meta analysis part, or I think I would have had to drink something to get this done. I still might....... anyone want to join me with a brewsky when this week is over? ( oh darn they took off the beer mug emoticon)

My DB post grade is in for week two. Received 9 out of 10 points. Something to do with APA reference. Likely, because I realized too late, I did not use a refereed article. I am happy with 9 out of 10.

Nothing about "where was it retrieved from." I have never had that issue either.

I went ahead and did my quiz. I didn't do as bad as last week. All I can say is study the quiz study guide and you should do fine.

Finally finished the reading assignments for the week. Oh boy, that was some of the toughest reading ever and it all kind of ran together. I also completed the independent/dependent variable assignment. I honestly thought that was a piece of cake, which has me a little worried. Now I get to work on the fun and awe inspiring DB post and the quiz. Can you sense my enthusiasm? If anyone has a sure fire method of making this class more interesting will you please share.

Sorry no magic bullet to make the snoozer even a bit more intersting. But I agree the variable assignment was way too easy. I completed my DB and one response. This has been the most awful week of class since March. I am dragging myself through the reading assignments in the book. Due to the miniscule factoids in the first 2 quizzes, I am afraid not to read every word, but I am sure I can't remember everything. I still have the last chapter to read and then go over the study guide for topics to concentrate on. Oh I can't wait till this course is over.:sleep:
