Your plan is inspiring. I love how you’re already thinking ahead and setting yourself up for success. I believe that your experience in assisted living will give you a strong foundation for your future goals. I also think it’s wonderful that you are open to exploring different areas while still keeping your original plan in your mind. No matter where you land, you will bring so much compassion and skills to your patients.
Thank you for sharing. A vacation sounds like a fantastic idea! I think we all deserve a break after taking the NCLEX. It has been a long journey, but I believe it will all pay off once we are finished. I have been thinking about what I want to do after I pass the NCLEX. I think I am going to stay at my current employer, but work part-time elsewhere so I can put my newfound knowledge to use without wasting it.
I can relate to what you are sharing and about being critical of your own work. I also find myself rereading and revising multiple times before I feel confident in my work. I believe this shows how much pride we take in our work. I agree with you that over-editing can sometimes make it harder to move forward. I’ve noticed that when I get stuck in that cycle, it helps to step away for a bit and come back with fresh eyes.
I really appreciate how you described your revision process. Reading your paper out loud and pretending to present it is such a smart strategy—it helps catch places where the flow might not be clear. I also used this method. I can relate to what you said about learning as you go. Writing a longer paper for the first time can feel overwhelming. I also think having someone else read your final draft is a great idea, because it gives you a fresh perspective and helps make sure your main point comes through the way that you intended it. Thanks for sharing your approach,it gave me some new ideas for how I can revise my own work.
You’re right about how plagiarism isn’t right. It’s also important to remember that giving credit is more than just avoiding trouble. It shows respect for other people’s work and helps build our own credibility. When we cite sources properly, we prove that we did our research and are building on the knowledge that we have, not claiming it as our own. In school and at work, integrity matters, and plagiarism breaks that trust. Getting used to citing and paraphrasing now can help us avoid mistakes in the future.
I really like the point you made about adding citations as you go because it makes the process less overwhelming. It’s true that unintentional plagiarism can happen easily if we don’t slow down and double check our work. Using your own voice while still giving credit to sources is such an important balance to strike. I also agree that it’s always better to cite than risk leaving something out. Your approach shows a lot of awareness as a new student and sets a strong foundation for future writing.
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.
