What a difficult experience to go through at such a young age. Arriving in a new country, let alone during the winter when it’s not the most inviting time of year was undoubtedly difficult. With so much to adapt to and learn and then taking on that level of responsibility speaks greatly to who are today.
Google Scholar is a great resource and there are so many options. Knowing how to streamline what you are looking for helps to narrow down sources and give you the best, most credible options to support your work.
It’s so true what you said about considering the qualifications of a source. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can put something on the internet and call it fact! It can be overwhelming to find credible sources so having the roadmap on what to look for is so helpful.
You are a rock start Jaylinn! Work life balance is not something that is easy to achieve but here you are! I believe things really do happen for a reason and you were meant to be here in this program at this time. I admire the perspective you gained from your experience and how you persevered. You have knowledge and experience to guide you through this time. You have a lot to be proud of!
Hi Grace, I really like your thoughts on EBP. Knowing we have the best possible knowledge based on quality research allows us to provide our patients with first rate care and deliver it with confidence. Something like no slip socks seem like a small detail but it’s really impactful!
Well said Stephanie! It doesn’t take much for a patient to develop a sore and the way in which sores worsen, these measures are essential to keeping them in the best possible health.
I agree that both styles have their benefits. Combined, they can paint a pretty well-rounded picture. I am partial to quantitative because of the picture it paints as a whole. It’s pretty straight forward and you can look at a graph and process a large amount of data at one time.
I like how you described each method. It really shows how to apply either style in order to capture the data you are researching. Personally, I like the overall visual of a graph and seeing all of the data in a measurable form.
There are so many considerations with regard to this subject and a deeply personal decision for a parent. There are benefits to research and studies but personally, it would be after a great deal of research myself and consideration as well as conversations with my child to decide if it’s something we would consent to.
I completely agree about consent. While it’s important for the parent to consent, the child consenting is equally if not more important. The type of research and study being done are huge factors as well as the age of the child and whether or not it’s something intrusive. There are a lot of considerations for something like this and it’s not always an easy decision to make.
Balance is key! I am also one of those people who can be distracted at times and lose focus. We each know what our intention is when using the internet and what our limitations are. Navigating within those lines is up to each of us to accomplish the goal.
I do agree that it gives you the opportunity to make connections much more quickly and easily. I also agree that how you approach utilizing the internet is a personal experience. If you are someone who is easily distracted, it’s important not to lose focus on what you are looking to accomplish and stay the course.
Time is often not on our side when working in healthcare so delay by poor communication can be really frustrating, especially where it’s often avoidable. I can be a little “wordy” as I said in my discussion board post so this will definitely be top of mind for me as we progress in this program!
What you say about the need for clear communication to avoid med errors is so true. What comes to mind is a titrating order. It can lead to delays in the resident getting their medication because of the need for clarification.
