    Thank you for sharing. I agree with your statement about the in-text citations. I believe this is the hardest part of the APA format. When I’m doing my reference page, I list all the websites I get information from, even if it’s 4 different websites. It’s definitely a lot of work.

    I agree with you on the APA format. It can be very overwhelming because there are so many small details that make a big difference. I also noticed that people sometimes forget to include the year of publication or misuse it. Your point about font, spacing, and the title page is also essential. I enjoyed how you highlighted that these mistakes are avoidable with the correct resources.

    Thank you for sharing your journey. I can really relate to the struggle of trying to balance school, work, and personal life, especially at such a young age. It takes a lot of courage to admit when something doesn’t go as planned, and even more strength to come back and try again.What stands out in your story is how you turned what felt like failure into a lesson. The patience and discipline you gained from that experience clearly shaped the way you approach challenges now. It shows that setbacks don’t define us—they prepare us for future success

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to arrive in a new environment, especially during the cold NH weather. Your story makes me think of how resilient you are, starting over in a place where you don’t know anybody and speak very little English.

    You’re absolutely right—evaluating credibility is essential, especially in academic work where the quality of sources directly impacts your grades.Verifying the publisher or platform helps ensure the information is trustworthy, and assessing objectivity prevents bias from influencing your research.

    You’re right about the importance of credibility in research. Google Scholar helps us find peer-reviewed work, and choosing publications from the last five years keeps your information current. I also agree that Wikipedia isn’t the best choice since anyone can edit it.
    Good sources usually have web addresses ending in .gov, .org, or .edu, which means they come from government, nonprofit, or educational groups.

    stephanie,

    I enjoyed reading your thoughts on evidence-based practice and how it empowers us to deliver safer and compassionate care. I appreciate your example about pressure injury prevention. It was nice that you incorporated real-world problems into your discussion.

    Beatriz,

    I really like how you emphasized the simplicity and power of hand hygiene. Such a simple yet powerful measure. The 20-second rule for handwashing is the perfect example of how science translates into everyday care. Then you pointed out how EBP helps us evaluate the effectiveness of our choices. Thank you for sharing.

    Emmanuella,
    I really appreciated how you highlighted both the clinical and emotional impact of EBP. Knowing that we are using strategies grounded in research gives the healthcare field confidence and also gives the families reassurance. When healthcare workers are confident in their care, the patients can tell. Thank you for sharing.

    Hi Emmanuella,

    I really appreciate how you explained the differences between quantitative and qualitative research. I also liked how you described qualitative research as filling in the gaps. I also liked how you described qualitative research as filling in the gaps. Thanks for sharing your perspective, which helped me reflect on how both approaches.

    Kristin,

    I really like how you described qualitative research as the “meat on bones.” That’s a very relatable way to put it. I really enjoyed your point on the surveys being versatile. Thanks for sharing your perspective on both methods.

    Kristin,
    Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and balanced perspective. I liked how you emphasized the importance of putting the child’s well-being first. As a mother myself, I completely understand your hesitation about a child being involved in research. This is an important topic, especially for those of us who have children.

    Beatriz,
    I appreciate your perspective on this issue. Children aren’t just participants in research; they are vulnerable individuals who need care and protection. Emotional harm can be just as serious as physical harm, and sometimes it’s harder to spot. Thank you for sharing a thoughtful response.

    I agree with both of you. There is so much information and I feel like we don’t really need to know everything that’s out there. But on the other hand, it’s nice to have immediate information when required.

    I couldn’t agree more. I love being able to get information at the blink of an eye. But sometimes it’s very frustrating going through and trying to figure out what is real and what’s fake information. That’s definitely one thing I’m not a fan of. I also get distracted easily, and I don’t do anything extra.
