NURS 830 WORKING WITH LARGE HEALTH CARE DATABASES
This course is designed to bridge the gap between nurses? need for information/data and the reality of finding the data, downloading, extracting, and building an effective personal database. Much of the class work will be conducted in the computer lab where students will explore public and private sources of health data that are available via the internet and on CD_ROM. Students will download data to the personal computer, import data into varied software applications, and build a personal database using software of their choice. Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of personal computers including the Windows environment, the use of a mouse, and basic file handling is expected. Knowledge of spreadsheets and databases is a plus. No knowledge of statistical software is needed, although highly desirable for doctoral students.
