How are databases similar

Week 2: Database Search

Choose a topic related to health that has meaning to your personal health, interests, and well-being. This may be a disease, such as diabetes, or a healthy fitness activity.

Conduct a database search comparing one of the following database directories with Google Scholar.

· CINAHL and Google Scholar

· PubMed and Google Scholar

· CINHAL and PubMed

Explain how you were able to narrow down the number of article hits you had initially, and present within your post a summary of the credible article you chose as your resource. How do you know your article choice is credible? Which database do you prefer and why?

How will using a database search facilitate your:

· scholarly work;

· nursing work (evidence-based practice); and

· personal self-development?

(COs 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8)

Please be sure to address how using databases will facilitate your scholarly work, nursing work, and personal self-development.
