Article evaluation

  • the history of nursing homes distracted me because it started off as the history of the concept of poorhouses (almshouses) instead of explaining that nursing home was not always the name
  • should have more information on how nursing homes got their name and what year they were actually founded
  • history of poorhouse and almshouses overrepresented
  • more history about nursing homes
  • citations work[1]

Hi Briana. Good start on this. I like the level of detailed information you have in your proposal. These should make good additions to the article. But you need sources to back up this information! Let's try to find some sources together during our conference today. What we talked about today was using academic databases through the IUP library to locate sources. Your best options are going to be those reference databases as well as data based relevant to nursing. See link below for the article we found through Credo Reference.
