It is our belief that continuing education
in college health nursing includes
planned, organized educational activities
intended to expand the knowledge, skill
and attitudes of the nursing staff. To
comply with the A.C.H.A. standard we will
apply evidenced-based approaches to
college health care and health care
promotion. To meet this goal we are
establishing the T.C.U. Journal Club.
Why a Journal Club?
To promote a better understanding of the
research process.
To evaluate new research.
To discuss the implication of research in
relationship to current clinical practice.
To collaborate with co-workers in developing
new practices.
What is a Journal Club?
A journal club is a collective effort to keep up
with nursing literature.
Issues and problems are identified by
assessing one of these
…..a student-based need.
…..a health center-based need.
…..a campus-based need.
…..a national health care priority.
How does a Journal
Club work?
A mandatory monthly meetings in conjunction
with a Brown Bag Lunch or Potluck Supper.
