Purpose of Activity
Professional journals provide a means of communication between various segments of the nursing profession. Current research findings are documented in these periodicals to keep other members of the profession up to date on new theories and modalities used to treat clients. Nursing students should become familiar with professional journals so that they become accustomed to reading them to keep abreast of current trends in the profession. They also should learn to discriminate between journals and authors to determine which are worthy and reliable. The purpose of the journal article review is to help the beginning nursing student become aware of the professional journals that are available to them and to learn about an area of personal interest that relates to client care.
