I read an article from Bakers online database called "Nursing and medical students benefit from training together" written by Erin Dean. Dean, Erin. "Nursing and medical students benefit from training together." Nursing Standard 25.3 (2010): 9. Health Reference Center Academic. Web. 23 Feb. 2012.Document URL http://go.galegroup.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA238979369&v=2.1&u=lom_falconbaker&it=r&p=HRCA&sw=w. The blog that I read was called Study: "When Nurses are Safer, Patients are Safer". NursingJobs.us, (n.a.), 2012. Retrieved from http://www.nursingjobs.us/blog/tag/workplace-safety/.
The article talks about the importance of nursing students to work with other students to help them become more efficient and effective nurses in the workplace. The blog is about the relation between nurse to patient safety.
I believe both the blog and article have the same audience. The audience is anyone that might be going into or is currently in the nursing field and/or staff of health care facilities to improve their business.
Both the blog and article talk about how to make the workplace a better working environment. In the article it says that if nursing students work together and study together, they will be more prepared for any situation. The blog states how to keep safe as a nurse and lists the top reasons for nursing and patient accident/injury ratio.
I was surprised at how the blog was formatted. It was much more like a scholarly article rather than a random blog compared to the past blogs I have read. It however was a little confusing because it seems like the writer was trying to be formal that it was hard to follow and did not give much detail. The article was a very easy read and went into great detail about the topic at hand. I would much rather read an article rather than a blog. Most authors of scholarly articles know how to keep it formal without speaking in terms that day to day readers cannot understand.
