True, writing in APA format is very stressful because there are a lot of small details that can make a huge difference in your grade if missed. I learned it the hard way, but sometimes I still forget something. Other small details that are often forgotten are the page number, misuse of spacing, or margins. Use bold when not needed or forget bold when required. The title page is another one people tend to forget
Yes, Kristin, we have to take one day at a time because there are lots of assignments each week. I am glad you have a great support system. Without support, I wouldn’t even be here or have started the program. My mother is helping me so much with my newborn. Going to school with small kids is not easy, girl!, But we go this, we have already taken a first step, let’s run this race to the finish line
I can relate to your story, Cindy. I have been wanting to go back to school for a long time, but every time I tried, it never seemed like the right time. So, I decided to apply to start this year. When I got approved, I found out I was pregnant again, but I said to myself, baby or no baby, I must continue with this process. The five weeks of school were very tough, with a new baby who woke up every two hours in the middle of the night, the morning rush, and the school drop off. Here I am. I continue to thank God for the strength He’s giving me.
Yes, Kristin, I used to trust most websites, but now I know to stay away from Wikipedia and any material from a site ending with .com. People will take the time to organize materials online just to deceive others. so, the key here is to be very careful of what we are researching and to stay away from those sites
True grace, most sites out there are deceiving. You might think that the site is accurate, but you’ll find out that it is not. it not easy to spot a fake site. I now know that any site that ends with .com is not safe, so I stick with the ones that end with .edu or .gov
yes, Cindi, I think EBP is very important for healthcare workers because it makes sure healthcare workers are performing their job more safely and ensuring. patients’ safety as well.
so true, Stephanie, we all know patient and our safety comes first. These evidence-based practices are helping us safely care for our patients and make it easier to perform our job.
quantitative research is a way to go for me, because it is easy and quick to understand for people like me who are visual learners. Words are not my thing; I can get lost trying to translate to myself what I am reading.
yes, Bee both methods of research are great, depending on the situation. I am more visual, so I might like the quantitative method because I will be able to see what is being presented rather than being explained via words
Yes, Cindi there are lots of destructions everywhere and will always be. but for people like me who are easily destructed, the internet is not for especially for doing schoolwork or just to work from the computer. unless there are not pop-ups, it will be very hard for me to work from the computer. I will find myself not doing what I was supposed to do on the computer.
True bee, like I said on my page, I am easily distracted. I could be doing something important on the computer, once I see a pop-up, I stop and read what it says. and sometimes I will start to wonder or worry about what the pop-up meant. so, for me the internet is more of a curse than a blessing
I like to use words like very, great, so, and many words that can be extra in the sentences, especially when I want to express my feeling. but i see what you are saying about how these words can get in way of what you are trying to say. and can also confuse patients when given instructions. thanks for sharing.
So true Kristin, I do agree. if people do not communicate clearly it could lead to patient harm. I think health care or nurses can come up with shortcut for all the nurse all around the country that they can use to avoid confusion.
hi Swami, I feel like I am the same when I comes to expressing myself through writing. it gives me the freedom to erase what I didn’t mean to say. if writing was the only way of communicating, I think I would be just fine especially when I am mad.
