NUR 370 - articles from nursing journals

There are a couple of sections of new nursing students who meet offsite (Gateway campus on Gate City Blvd) who will probably be coming for help.

The instructor wasn't interested in a library workshop, but a student who came to me for help showed me instructions for one of the assignments. It looks pretty similar to previous semester -

 2 page paper, with at least 4 sources: journal articles, texts, or news articles pub'd w/in the past 5 years. Choice of topics -


1) Incivility in Nursing: What is it? Who does it?  When, where and why? 
2) Substance Abuse by Nurses: Who, What (substances), when, where?
3) 80% BSN by 2020: What is it? Who, Why, When, Where? 
4) Moral Distress: What, who, why, where? 

This is just FYI on one assignment - please try to get the student to produce instructions for whatever they're working on at that moment.

There is a page for this class with good starting points: http://uncg.libguides.com/nur370

Some students will need help getting into databases, setting up keyword searches, and getting to full text. 

As always, if you have a hard time with health science students (can't help them to a good search strategy w/in 5-10 mins; or if they refuse to look over the results or want you to find and choose all of their sources for them), send them to me. Forward their email and topic to me, or send them back to my office if I'm available.

Thanks,
Lea
