For this discussion post, I chose to find an article related to nurse practitioners in the emergency room and what their role and scope of practice may be viewed as. To search for this article, I used the link provided in the additional resources of the module and used the EBSCO host search engine. I have previously used this search engine in my previous college for my Bachelor’s degree. Therefore, I already knew that in order to narrow my search it is beneficial to change the published year to five years prior to present and check the box for academic journals only to show. I have found many resources on this search engine for my bachelors degree and have rarely ever had a problem. What is different with this, is in order to find the full text, I had to click on the Walden button. I would definitely recommend this database to my colleagues and other students due to it’s ease of navigation and use as well as the numerous options for the published academic journals available. Below I will cite the source correctly using APA formatting.
