NUR 608

Library guide for using KCU Young Library resources to obtain information for the course NUR 608 and the Capstone project for the Masters in Nurse Practitioner program.

Introduction

Welcome to Nursing 608.  This guide is designed to help you in locating library resources that you will be using to identify a health issue or problem that interests you.  You will then use these resources in developing your PICOT question and finding the primary research articles necessary to complete several of your assignments.

I encourage you to contact me whenever you need help.  I too received my Masters through a totally online program while I was working.  I do not expect to hear from you only between 8am - 5pm.  Most distance learners do homework in the late evenings.  If you are stuck, please contact me by email or feel free to use my cell phone number located on your Sakai site.

I am looking forward to working with all of you.  Please follow the order of the tabs as you work through it the first time.  You will be able to locate and return to specific pages once you have reviewed the guide.
