Hi Fatuma. a vacation after completing the LPN program and passing the NCLEX sounds amazing! You are doing such a wonderful job, juggling being a mom and school. In my opinion, I believe that you should jump right back into schooling and get that degree! Assisted living facilities can be a little tricky when it comes to practicing your skills, I have worked in long term care and there is definitely a lot of knowledge that you can gain from working in one. I can see you being a great nurse and I wish you nothing but success, you got this!

Hi Grace, I think it is important to look at multiple scholarly sources as it can be helpful to get many different perspectives on a topic we are researching. A five page research paper may seem like a lot to some people, but once you start getting the rhythm and you have all of your information, it tends to flow naturally and before you know you it, you have more than what is expected. I also like to read my paper aloud, I find that it helps me find small errors that I may have overlooked when writing. It is easy to get lost when writing such a long paper and it is important to revise as many times as we can, to ensure we do not have any grammatical errors.

It is great to get an outside perspective and definitely let’s you know what is captivating your audience. I also like to make my ideas stronger, when revising my drafts. I like that you mentioned taking a break from the assignment, sometimes it can get overwhelming to try to finish such a long assignment. It is important to take some time for yourself and give the assignment a break to freshen up your ideas and thoughts.
Hi Grace, I like that you mentioned that plagiarism can occur even if we take the information from someone else and form it into our own words. As students, we can sometimes forget to cite our references if we take the information and put it into our own words. It always better to cite any information that you have received from someone else and give credit to the person for their work. It is important to respect the time and effort that the person has put. I agree that plagiarism can lead to serious academic consequences.
Hi Kristin, I agree that as a student we can sometimes plagiarize unintentionally. I like that you have your own way of avoiding that, by citing your references as you are going. It is important to always double check your work and sometimes to even triple check it. It is easy to get ideas from the internet, but it is important to always give credit when it is due. Unintentional plagiarism can happen, if we don’t take the time to go over our work and make sure that no matter how small the information we are grabbing from someone else, to just cite it to cover yourself.
Hi Stephanie, I agree with you that when formatting a paper to APA can lead to common mistakes. Starting with the title page and ensuring that you have the proper information on there can lead to a successfully written paper. I know that for me, in text citations can be a little confusing. When placing an in text citation it is important to give credit to whomever you got your information from. It is also important to have proper formatting when conducting your reference page, so that the reader can always go back and look at it for themselves.
Hi Kristin I agree with you, that there are many steps that need to be taken into consideration. Following the steps for an APA formatted paper can ensure you success. For me, in-text citations can easily be missed and I tend to just put a reference page. Ensuring that you have proper formatting when inserting in text citations is very important, so that the reader can easily know where you received your information from. When putting together your reference page it is also important to make sure that you have everything formatted correctly.

Hi Cynthia, I agree with you on checking the credibility of your source. Anyone can put information out in the public and it’s important to make sure the information you are getting is accurate and current. Online libraries are great because you and filter out exactly what need.
Hi Kristin, I agree that Wikipedia is definitely a website to stay away from. When conducting research, Google Scholar is one of my favorite websites to use since you can filter out exactly what you need. Online libraries are great, since it eliminates the need to go in person and easier to find more current information.

Evidence based practices have shown that something so simple like repositioning a patient and checking their skin, helps reduce pressure ulcers. I like that you included how it enhances safety and increases patient satisfaction.

Hoyer lifts are very important when transferring patients, so that there is no injury to the healthcare team or the patient.

Hi Stephanie, I think that you did an amazing job explaining both methods of research. Both have pros and cons and I believe that depending on the data that is being collected, one or the other methods work well.
