Workshops
2024
TWU College of Nursing Faculty and Staff Retreat for DNP Program
Hosted by Jayne Jennings Dunlap, TWU CON Associate Clinical Professor and Interim DNP Program Director.
This two-day retreat allowed faculty and staff who collaborate on the Doctor of Nursing Program to gather from all three campuses in order to learn from one another. Librarians were included on the first day to discuss the research done throughout the course of the program.
As a relatively new librarian for the nursing program, I was thankful to be included, both to get to know the nursing faculty and to learn more about our DNP program and research. I was particularly interested to learn more about their new approach to framing research, PPCO (Problem, Population, Change, Outcome) in order to facilitate quality improvement and systematic change.
2023
Scoping Review Workshop
Hosted by Texas Christian University in partnership with the Joanna Briggs Institute; taught by J. Dru Riddle, Director of the Center for Translational Research at TCU. Attended April 2023.
An in-depth analysis of conducting a scoping review, this full-day workshop gives librarians and researchers the tools they need to plan and execute a scoping review, from determining whether the researchers’ question is best served by a scoping review or another scholarly format; building a protocol to plan the review; and executing a review, including the search strategy, rounds of inclusion and exclusion, and extracting and presenting the evidence.
