NURS 360: Journal Club assignment

This guide has been created to assist with one of the literature searching assignments for NURS 360. NOTE: This particular assignment may not be offered every year, or by every instructor.

Research literature and nursing practice: Journal Club (assignment)

The Journal Club (annotated bibliography) assignment in NURS 360 varies from semester to semester, depending on who's teaching it, but it typically requires you to find different types of research related reports:

  1. An empirical research report using quantitative data,
  2. An interpretive research report using qualitative data, and
  3. A review article (*Some instructors may not always require this one, so double-check)

To help you with this assignment, this guide will provide you with some practical tips and search suggestions to help you get started with your own research.
