Notes:
Healthcare research has continuously informed quality improvement measures in healthcare. At the core of most healthcare research is the library. Libraries represent an assortment of resources that help learners better understand the contents they learn from the class. The Walden University Library is no exception. This University Institution contains a wide volume of books, online resources, journals, and other materials that help students further their academic courses. The significance of the library is based on its ability to bolster learners’ knowledge in various aspects of their academic learning. Resources obtained from the library can widen learners’ perspectives on various aspects of nursing as well as help them solve problems they may encounter during their learning processes.
The vastness of the Walden University Library has perhaps contributed to its underutilization. Without sufficient guidance from the library personnel and the research center, students may waste a lot of time searching for valuable resources to help them in their academic courses. For this reason, I believe that establishing a connection with the research center under the Walden University Library is essential. This connection will considerably help me navigate the resources available in the library as well as how best to utilize them. As a student researcher, I believe that my research skills will be bolstered when I learn from people who have excelled in research and who have the basics of student research, such as searching for information, validating the authenticity, accuracy, and reliability of resources, and how best to translate research into practice. The Walden University Library and the research center epitomize research excellence. Engaging them through my academic journey will thus help me improve my grades.
