Week 2: Database Search

Choose a topic related to health that has meaning to your personal health, interests, and well-being. This may be a disease, such as diabetes, or a healthy fitness activity.

Conduct a database search comparing one of the following database directories with Google Scholar.

· CINAHL and Google Scholar

· PubMed and Google Scholar

· CINHAL and PubMed

Explain how you were able to narrow down the number of article hits you had initially, and present within your post a summary of the credible article you chose as your resource. How do you know your article choice is credible? Which database do you prefer and why?

How will using a database search facilitate your:

· scholarly work;

· nursing work (evidence-based practice); and

· personal self-development?

(COs 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8)

As a reminder: You are required to post a minimum of two substantive posts in each graded discussion. These two posts must be on 2 separate days. The first post in each graded discussion must be completed by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time (MT). Week 1-7 discussions must be completed by end of week, Sunday, 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time (MT).

For credit, you can start posting on Sunday of each week.

For weekly discussions, please do NOT use quotes. Information should be paraphrased with an in-text citation. Quotes should be used in rare situations.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
