Hi Pumi! You are very smart and accomplished in the program and doing so well! I’m sure being a full time mom and doing full time school is not easy. It is really great to hear that you have a good support system at home! I can’t wait to see you continue to crush this program and graduate together!
Hi Selva! That is so cool to learn that you are also an engineer!! Was there any certain drive that made you switch to healthcare? I am very happy that you chose to be in the LPN program and that we have the chance to learn together! You are so smart and I can’t wait to reach graduation with you!
Hi Ava! your plans sound exciting! having the options as a nurse of any possible path is so exciting! A vacation to celebrate the completion of nursing school is exactly what us students are going to need! I hope it is somewhere warm and sunny for you!
Hi Ava. Including supportive evidence is HUGE when trying to make a point in a research paper. It definitely strengthens your claims and builds up to a solid conclusion. There is nothing wrong at all with sticking to what you know in writing, especially if it works for you!
Hi Pumi, I am so glad that you also mentioned having other family members help proof read your papers. It is very nice to have support at home when it comes to school. I agree also that reading your writing out loud is extremely helpful! Having someone else’s input on how to improve your writing is essential for growth.
Hi Pumi! It is sad that children are often taken advantage of and how often it occurs. I think that is why there are more safety concerns around their exposure to environment and society. As a mother I can imagine being very wary and protective of your children at all costs. Being a parent makes you the immediate advocate to ensure that your child is safe and healthy. It is a scary world we live in today where people and even some healthcare professionals are untrustworthy. Well said Pumi!
Hi Selva! I agree that it is important for older aged children to be involved in the decision making process regarding their autonomy. As a mother I am sure that you protect your children at every chance when they are exposed to possible negative factors. I also like your idea that there should be controls and checks regarding child research as they are more easily susceptible to risk of exposure to negative impacts as well as needing a secure advocate. No parent should want their child’s personal information exposed to public sources, that is why it is good to be well informed before agreeing to any research being conducted.
Hi Pumi! Copy and paste is most certainly the definition of plagiarism. Thank you for telling us about self-plagiarism, I forgot that is even a tricky form that not many people realize. I also really liked that you included how plagiarizing is a disservice to the individual doing it, by limiting their writing skills.
Hi Ava. It is indeed confusing sometimes when citing and paraphrasing in writing, from other sources. Even when rewriting their ideas into your own words it is indeed their original ideas that we are taking. You did a very nice job of explaining plagiarism and how easy it can be to unintentionally do it. It is definitely a good idea to double check your work!
Hi Cristina, I agree that the in-text citations and direct quotes are tricky. If not written properly it is plagiarism. We have to give the credit where credit is due! The direct quotes do feel odd to use when the process of citing a source is so strict, so I get what you mean.
Hi Ava! I liked how you gave examples in your explanation. Mentioning that incorrect citations and not properly rephrasing or citing is plagiarism! It can also be very easy to accidentally plagiarize if you do not quote or cite your references properly. That is why it is so important to double check your work, so thank you for mentioning that!
Hi Ava! this system for evaluating sources is perfect! It highlights all the important aspects of ensuring that the source is appropriate, accurate, and useful writing. I am glad that you made sure to highlight that the source should be bias free as well. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Cristina! I love that you mentioned the peer reviewed sources and making sure to cite the sources! It is easy to get lost in getting through a research paper and forgetting to add those citations. Also, remembering to do both in-text and references page citations!
Hi Marie! I agree that EBP is essential for improving patient outcomes. The repositioning technique is a good example of implementation! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Pumi,I agree that it is very important when taking care of patients. If we prioritize EBP when providing care, then the care should be of quality and patient centered. Using EBP is definitely essential to implement in order to limit the spread of bacteria and germs! It is important to use EBP in the nursing field to ensure we are giving the best possible, up to date care.
