Description / paper instructions Central Theme: Nursing Topic
This quarter you are going to identify one topic from the nursing literature in the practice area you are interested in. This topic needs to have a nursing focus and will become the focus of most of your work in this course. By the end of the quarter, you will have read three peer-reviewed articles on this topic, written a paper about the topic, and created a visual resource, either a PowerPoint presentation or a poster. Either of these presentation materials could be used to explain the importance of the topic to your nursing colleagues. We will discuss this more in our first Collaborate session.
Journal browsing: During the library session, you will learn how to use the search functions available to you as a Drexel University student. Choose a nursing topic and begin browsing the professional, peer-reviewed nursing journals which best reflect your clinical practice interest. Learning to browse journals on-line via the Drexel Health Sciences Library portal is a very important skill which you will need throughout your academic career so please learn to do it now. Even if you can access your journal through other sources, use the Drexel library achieves to locate the articles you will use for your assignments. Remember to keep track of the search terms during your library work as you will need these terms later. One of the assignments in this course will require you to provide a screen shot of your library search.
