- Doctoral Education
Background:
- Numerous Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs in nursing exist across the U.S.
- Prospective students face choices in program delivery, faculty expertise, and entry points.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide practical guidance for selecting U.S. research-intensive nursing doctoral programs.
- To assist students in maximizing their potential for scientific impact.
Main Methods:
- Review of quality indicators for PhD programs in nursing.
- Development of key questions for prospective students to ask program representatives.
Main Results:
- Identification of critical factors for evaluating nursing PhD programs.
- Guidance on assessing faculty research alignment and program curricula.
Conclusions:

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
3.4K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

00:58Sound Intensity
4.8K
The loudness of a sound source is related to how energetically the source is vibrating, consequently making the molecules of the propagation medium vibrate. To measure the loudness of a source, the physical quantity of interest is the intensity. This is defined as the energy emitted per unit of time per unit of area perpendicular to the sound wave's propagation direction. Since the total energy is greater if the source vibrates for a longer duration and over a larger area, dividing the...

00:53Sound Intensity Level

Humans perceive sound by hearing. The human ear helps sound waves reach the brain, which then interprets the waves and creates the perception of hearing. The loudness of the environment in which a person is located determines whether they can distinguish between different sound sources.
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and...

01:22Intensity Of Electromagnetic Waves
5.9K
The energy transport per unit area per unit time, or the Poynting vector, gives the energy flux of an electromagnetic wave at any specific time. For a plane electromagnetic wave with E0 and B0 as the peak electric and magnetic fields and traveling along the x-axis, the time-varying energy flux can be given by the following equation:

01:32What is Natural Selection?
129.6K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.
