Gonorrhea

Published

Need to find good info on Gonorrhea for a research paper. Does anyone have any good sources that I can go to?

I am well aware of how to write a research paper, but I thought I would ask if anyone knew of a specific site that had good info, given the fact I need to have 5 reliable sources. Sorry my question upset you.

you need to understand kag, that lots of students come here and ask us to do their homework for them.

we typically encourage those students, to come up with their own thoughts/answers, and we'll go over it with them.

so if it seems you're getting snarky answers, this will give you some insight as to why.

next time you need help, i suggest you opening your question with what you've come up with so far...and then we'll be glad to help you out.:)

Google has an option under other called scholar. That will give you papers that have been published in journals.

i've heard awesome feedback about google scholar.

Google Scholar

Thank you Leslie, I'll make sure I correctly word my questions next time. It kind of shocked me thinking that I'm dealing with professonal people or soon to be.

Having only posted over here in the general forum for a short period of time it is appalling how many students either have absolutely no idea how to go about collecting information for a formal research paper, or are just too ****ing lazy to do it.

Yep. And it seems to have gotten worse over the past few months.

Do your own &$^%*#( homework! Chr*st on a cracker.

Kag, I think the ways to find articles are much more valuable than the actual articles. Sure, I could have found 5 published articles and listed them but they,

1) may have overlapped on most of the information

2) missed some key information you wanted to cover

3) would only apply to this paper

When you find the information you are able to tailor the search to locate articles that cover things you want included in the paper like demographics, trends, global or local perspective, etc. Plus, when you work on your next paper you'll have the tools to be able to find articles for that paper.

Good little known site:

www.highwire.stanford.edu

Look for the box under the pic of the journal that says this article is free :)

This is not necessarily directed just to the OP, but at students in general...

Many of us have been nurses for many many years. Please understand that our "learning experiences" were VERY different than yours. We learned to be nurses in the "stone age". When I was assigned a research paper of any kind it meant a trip to the school or local library. Once there, I had to search through a card catalog (something many of you 20 year olds are completely unfamiliar with). If I was super lucky, I would get a librarian who might help me find the information someone in that dewey decimal system. Once I found the correct reference book (which often smelled musty/moldy from age) I then had to sit and read the text hoping to find the information I needed. If not back to the card catalog and the cycle began again. (In case you missed my point...there weren't computers/internet, etc)

Now all you have to do is google most information & it absolutely kills me that so many students don't even seem to make an attempt at that. They just want to jump on this site, ask us homework questions and then get offended when we refuse to answer.

Again, not just to the OP but to ALL students reading this...Yes, I am a professional nurse...I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER & I DON'T WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. I actually love to teach the newbies...but I want to teach those with a passion for learning.

Sorry OP, it has been a very rough couple weeks on here with school starting again.

I was shocked to find out that I was an anomaly as a student. I did all my homework myself, did all my research myself. Hell, I even found my way to my university's library and (gasp!) found journal articles myself! (And with a little help from the librarian.)

I'm shocked that so many students are unable to find their way to a library or figure out how to do a CINHAL search.

And just think, these students who are unable to complete their homework without help from anonymous people on the internet will one day be "critical thinkers" thinking their way through a shift and taking care of actual patients.

We're all doomed!

PS: OP, you're more likely to find sources that are credible if you get off the internet. Websites shouldn't be your go to source. Stick to journals.

We're also not going to take you seriously when you create an account for the sole purpose of asking us to do your research for you. At least try and contribute to the community before exposing yourself.

NIH, Web MD, Your local public health department website..........

You'd think someone who had put an ounce of effort into his assignment (or google) would have come up with this already.

Sigh....

I used to do volunteer work with teenagers and I spoke on this topic often and the best resources is going to be the library and the local health department. You will exceed the mininum requirement of 5 sources if you go to these places.

I agree with everything you said, except this part. There is great information on the internet, particularly sites that have already been cited such as the CDC, NIH, and local/state health departments. Not to mention that so many journals and search engines are electronic now, you really don't have to enter the library*. Your school's library website can be a great resource for finding these electronic sources. Mosby's Nursing Consult got me through Med-Surg (sadly they discontinued it due to funding) and so many of my books are available through my library online that I can look something up quickly if I have a question at clinical.

*Although you should, because libraries are awesome, I love mine!

Usually American Family Physician has good information. You can access (sp?) it online.
