Perceived Effectiveness of an English-as-an-Additional-Language Nursing Student Support Program
Background:
English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) nursing students are more likely to experience academic challenges than nursing students whose primary language is English. To improve the learning environment for this disadvantaged group of students, a novel support group was established to address both academic and nonacademic issues faced by these students.
Method:
Using a hermeneutic analytic approach, the impact and perceived effectiveness of this support group are explored.
Results:
The deliberate design of this support group provided significant support for EAL nursing students in both the academic and non-academic realms.
Conclusion:
Participants perceived the formation of a holistic, curriculum-specific tailored support group as an effective tool for educating EAL nursing students. [J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(11):641-647.].

Conjugate Addition (1,4-Addition) vs Direct Addition (1,2-Addition)
Conjugate addition results in a thermodynamically stable product. The reaction retains the stronger C=O bond at the expense of the weaker C=C π bond. The process is slow as the β carbon is less electrophilic than the carbonyl carbon.
Direct addition products are...
