NURSING GRAND ROUNDS with DR. DAVID BUSOLO Tuesday March 11th 12:00 - 1:00 Central TIME - ALL WELCOME!
by Diana McMillan 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Please join us tomorrow for Nursing Grand Rounds Date: March 11th, 2025, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Central Time Zone. Presenter: David Busolo, RN, PhD, Associate Professor, Faculty of Nursing, University of New Brunswick, Moncton, NB. Title: Innovating clinical nursing education using virtual technology to combat the effects of COVID-19: A qualitative study. ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/65184352189?pwd=bGCQEKzdlCLz2ateMNFZjrmaMYp8Q8.1 Abstract: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing effects halted in-person clinical placements in nursing programs at all Canadian universities. To mitigate educational disruption, clinical practicums were pivoted to online delivery, despite knowledge gaps on the perspectives of nursing students and community liaisons on using virtual technology to facilitate clinical placements. Accordingly, we explored the impact of using innovative virtual technology to combat the social distancing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on students' and community liaisons' experiences in a clinical community health nursing course. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, we evaluated an innovative online clinical placement approach which we implemented to combat the disruptions of social distancing guidelines. Forty-five nursing students were grouped and paired with five community health organizations to create community-led health promotion projects using online videoconferencing. Upon completion of their practicum, six nursing students and four community liaisons participated in virtual individual interviews. We analyzed the data using a thematic analysis approach, then developed three themes: 1) Openness to change, 2) Effective virtual communication, and 3) Creation of learning spaces that foster nurturing relationships. On the theme of 'Openness to Change,' participants voiced the need to shift focus from common learning approaches to new, untested options. On the theme of 'Effective virtual communication,' participants valued the critical role of thorough virtual communication in online learning. On the theme of 'Creation of learning spaces that foster nurturing relationships,' participants appreciated the role of relationships, careful planning, and organization of virtual learning spaces for program success. The success and viability of virtual technology in clinical education are strongly related to individual and systems approach and adaptations to support students' access to learning opportunities. Our findings could be used to enhance access to virtual clinical education for students from disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.

How can students effectively research and cite sources to avoid plagiarism?
by jamimays8＠gmail.com 08 Mar '25

08 Mar '25

Plagiarism is a concerning aspect for students of all academic disciplines. However, with proper research and citation accuracy, students can prevent their assignments from this mishap. To do that effectively, follow these guidelines: Use academic sources like journals, books, and reputable websites, but only the ones you are sure of being credible. Whatever research you study, note its important points and also include it in the tracklist. If you are adding info from other sources, paraphrase them completely in your own words and also cite them accurately. In the case of direct quotes, always enclose them in quotation marks and cite them appropriately. For increased reliability and verification, use plagiarism and AI detection tools to ensure originality. Follow the preferred citation style consistently throughout the assignment. Cross check references with the in-text citations in the content. Ensure complete accuracy in the formatting elements of the citation style, i.e., no missing part, etc. Hire the https://canadaassignmenthelp.ca/ for your ease and maximum accuracy.

Does Vardenafil make you last longer?
by pharmabridgeinternational1＠gmail.com 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

Yes, Vardenafil (sold under brand names like Levitra, Vitara V and Staxyn) can help men last longer during sexual activity, but its primary function is to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) by improving blood flow to the penis. While it doesn’t directly delay ejaculation, some men may experience improved control and longer-lasting erections due to enhanced confidence and reduced performance anxiety.
