    What is IRB? Is this the research summary and ethical considerations paper? Did you pull your article off the GCU library? Is it peer reviewed or qualitative or quantitative research? That's all...

    Hey drea, Not Prism (isn't it great how we just butt into the convo? ) but I can help with some of these questions. You can make an "A" by answering all the DQ and making sure you answer everyone for...

    That is exactly what I did, or I would save them overnight into the draft section on LC and post them from work.

    Well if they went to a for profit school located in the canyon, where everyone knows your name and gets an A, they wouldn't have to have someone write their papers,

    Ours was a paper, but yep, exactly what Prism said. U.S census, Acornville.com as well, and Google what restaurants they have in town compared to food co-op, or other healthful eating. Our city was in...

    Yikes, I'm no help but I hope someone pops out of the woodworks to help you. Have you asked your advisor? GCU used to give a discount if you were a member of the ANA, but I hear it's gone. Maybe they...

    How did you get your job?

    tokmom replied to scamper22's topic in General Nursing

    This is when being old pays off. I was lucky enough to be in a true shortage. It's a wonder I wasn't snatched off the elevator, heading too HR. I would suggest maybe going to a lesser known facility....

    awful pt assignment or the norm?

    tokmom replied to maybug's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Oh and no, this stuff isn't easy, but it's not rocket science. You can do this, so pull up the big girl pants and dig in to your reading. Nothing says you can't do that this weekend. Yes, it's going...

    Ahh, look at your books. The syllabus should mention the book you need to read that mentions the metaparadigm. I had never heard of it either, but learned it quickly! The assignment is asking your...
