Bring your questions and comments to the Town Hall on March 31 from 12-1 in room T206.

There will be pizza provided as well! Please come for some great discussion surrounding the graduate programs with faculty and other students.

Have any plans this Wednesday (Mar 19) at 11:30? Why not come to the next GSNA Meeting in the gradlab. There are lots of plans in the works, come and check it out! It’s a busy time of year, but the end is in sight! If you want a break or even just a chance to talk with other students who know what it’s like come on by!

Also, don’t forget to register for the symposium on May 2, there will be some great presentations. I am getting excited to be part of the day, see/hear great presentations and network with lots of nurses. Here’s the link: http://www.nursing.ubc.ca/Research/GradSymposium.aspx

How to Write an Abstract

We thought we would provide some useful links on how to write an abstract for the upcoming Symposium (or really for any conference or publication). Below are some links that might be helpful, including a link to our call for abstracts. Also remember: don’t be afraid to ask for advice not only from your classmates but also from your teachers – they are generally always willing to help point you in the right direction.

Another way to go is to look through the available information in the UBC Library and UBC Blogs; they have several guides on how to do things. Here’s a link to get you started:

https://blogs.ubc.ca/misa/files/2012/02/How-to-write-an-abstract.pdf

 

If all else fails and you have difficulty finding more information this might be a great time to access the librarian for nursing, if you have not heard of her before Lee-Ann Bryant is specific to the School of Nursing

 

If you wanted to know what the abstracts from last year looked like. This is the link to the Nursing Student Journaledition with the abstracts: https://circle.ubc.ca/bitstream/handle/2429/45164/UBC_Nursing_Student_Journal_Sept_2013.pdf?sequence=6

 

Please check out what they have to say – and let us know if you find other links we should share!

 

 

The Nursing Graduate Student Research Symposium call for abstracts deadline is right around the corner! If you have a paper or project from last semester, something you are working on now, or research you are conducting or are a part of, please consider submitting an abstract! It is a great opportunity to gain experience presenting your work and there will be lots of opportunity to connect with other students and faculty!!!

Below is the link for the call for abstracts and where to get more information!
