    Hi Grace, it’s definitely difficult trying to balance your personal life and school life. It’s great that you’ve found a routine that works for you. Having a strong support system is amazing and helps you stay on track.

    in reply to: School in my late 40’s…oh my! #44517

    Hi Kristin, you are doing amazing. Going back to school, is not always easy and is definitely overwhelming. Having a strong support system is a huge help! Reviewing assignments is very smart to do, that way you can kind of estimate how much time you need to put aside for that assignment.

    in reply to: Credibility #44516

    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.

    in reply to: Evaluating Sources #44515

    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.

    Hi Cynthia, I think you made a great point on how regular skin assessments can have many benefits. 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.

    Hi Fatuma, you make an excellent point on how evidence based practices prevent negative patient outcomes. Hoyer lifts are very important when transferring patients, so that there is no injury to the healthcare team or the patient. Evidence based practices helps provide better guidance on providing the best care for the patients.

    in reply to: Quantitative vs Qualitative #44413

    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. In my opinion I would prefer to use quantitative data, since it can be more accurate than qualitative research.

    in reply to: Qualitative and quantitative #44412

    Hi Cynthia, you described both methods very well. Both methods are really unique when it comes to collecting research. For me, quantitative research works best since it gives measurable data and is more straight forward. I also do like the approach of digging deeper with qualitative research and getting information based on real experiences.

    in reply to: informed consent #44411

    Hi Grace, I agree that researchers need to have the children’s best interest at heart. it is important that as researchers that keep the children safe and respect their boundaries. Children don’t fully understand the experience, respecting their privacy is definitely priority. I am glad that you also mentioned the parents advocating for their kids as kids don’t always feel comfortable speaking up for themselves.

    in reply to: conducting research with children #44410

    Hi Cynthia, I completely agree with you that if research includes children they need the parents consent. Researchers need to be aware of what they are putting children through and that they might not understand what is happening. Researchers should also be aware of emotional cues and any signs of stress that they could be potentially putting the children through. Even though children might not fully understand, their rights and boundaries still need to be respected.

    in reply to: writing in the age of distractions #44093

    Hi Grace, I agree that the internet can be a great resource tool when you need inspiration or need help finding information for research. I definitely agree that you can lose focus and procrastinate when trying to write. It is very important to find balance !

    in reply to: distractions? #44092

    Hi Cindi, I agree that the internet can be very distracting. I also believe that it can be very helpful when you need to research and need a little help when doing classwork. The internet can be very helpful since it is at the tip of our fingers.

    in reply to: clear communication #43783

    Hi Fatuma, I agree with you that we can put patients at risk if we do not have clear communication. Adding extra words when trying to communicate with one another, might get a little confusing. I believe that when we add extra information, the important information that we are to relay gets lost.

    in reply to: Consequences of poor communication #43782

    Hi Kristin, I agree with you and not wanting to confuse patients by not having clear communication. I feel like sometimes we can get carried away explaining certain things to patients, which could end up confusing them. Having clear communication with patients is important, so that they are not overwhelmed in a setting that they already might feel a little anxious about.

    in reply to: “My Thoughts on Different Writing Styles” #43708

    Hi Swami,
    I can definitely see how you would categorize yourself as a narrative writer. You are great at sharing your experiences and stories with everyone in class. I agree with Stephanie, you would make a great persuasive writer, you have a way of engaging with the class. I am excited about English and discovering if I have any other different writing styles.
