Has anyone taken Evidence based practice/ applied nursing research class at WGU? Wondering what problem statement (topic) you used and how you went about researching it. I am having a hard time.

I'm just starting that class. Haven't started the project yet but have you tried the facebook page RN-BSN. Not the one on wgu's site there is another one.

I know this thread is almost one year old, but I'll answer to help out those who take this course in the future.

For task 1 my research topic was smoking cessation. Since an abundance of research articles and sources cover that topic, I simplified things for myself by selecting something on which many studies have been conducted. I submitted this assignment yesterday evening, so I am currently waiting for TaskStream to grade it.

For task 2 my research topic was the efficacy of bathing patients with plain soap versus chlorhexidine products. Again, I selected this subject because a multitude of studies have been conducted on it. With the exception of one '3,' I scored all 4s on the rubric grading categories.

How did this work out for you? I am taking this course now and it is the most annoying course thus far! It is 1 of 2 left that I have left and has me at a standstill >:(

I completed this course last month. I started backwards by completing the second task first because it appeared far less-involved than the first.

My topic for the second task was the efficacy of plain soap versus chlorhexidine soap for bathing hospital inpatients. This task passed on the first submission with all '4' grades in each rubric subsection (with the exception of one '3').

My topic for the first task was smoking cessation efforts in healthcare facilities. I had to submit this one twice. It finally passed on the second submission and was graded far more harshly than my second task on plain soap versus chlorhexidine.

Overall, I estimate I spent a total of a week and a half completing these assignments.
