The objective of this study is to describe the main bibliographical databases specialized in nursing and medicine serving as tool for the identification and retrieval of articles published in scientific journal of nursing. An increase of free database access as a consequence of both the process of globalization and the cooperation among Latin American countries is perceived. Also, increasingly more public institutions as well as non-profit organizations are making their databases freely available to the public. Furthermore, a growth of databases specialized in nursing is observed as well as the inclusion of a greater proportion of nursing-related articles in databases of international scope.

I got together with some school friends and we went to drink coffee and we talked a lot about our studies and politics....It was very funny.

This song is one of my favorites. I choose it because it talk about fall in love and the way to know if your love is intersted in you. It is a happy and fun song of the famous singer called Cher. She is an American pop singer-songwriter, actress and record producer. Among her career accomplishments in music, television and film, she has won an Academy Award, a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.


SHOOP SHOOP SONG (VERY BEST OF CHER)

Does he love me I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so
Is it in his eyes?Oh no you'll be deceived
Is it in his eyes?Oh no he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Or is it in his face? Oh no it's just his charms
In his warm embrace? Oh no that's just his arms
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Woah It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Woah hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How 'bout the way he acts? Oh no that's not the way
And you're not listnin' to all I said
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is

Woah It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh yeah it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh ohh it's in his... kiss
That's where it is...

Asignment nº 1 "Homework for level 3"

Hello, my name is Gabriela Maturana. I'm 19 years old and I'm studying Nursing. I really enjoy studying this career, I love it. I have been two years in this university. I'm living in Santiago but I am from Rancagua. Here, I'm living with an aunt.
I have chosen this english course because in this moment arround the world and is very necessary to know speak english and this is one of the reasons why I have decided to do this course.
I want to learn more about this language and I want to improve my level of english and my vocabulary.
I didn't have a blog before but I think is a good way to stay connected and check homeworks.

We are different


Hello, the theme I’m going to talk about is related to roles of woman and men in my family and if this topic has changed through time.
First of all, I would like to say that I think that the roles of both sexes have changed a lot in last years. Years ago, the woman was always in the house. She just did the housework and cared her daughters and sons and the man worked to get money, but now, women are more active in work area and the responsibility to education and care about children is shared in this moment, and the mother isn’t the only responsible for it.
In my family, the roles of woman and man are similar. Both of my parents work and, when I lived with them, they was in the same condition, I mean, both of them did the housework and worked to get money.
My father is a trader and my mother work in a small hospital in the countryside and her job is similar to nursing.
For example: my father used to do the shopping or to cook for us, he washed dishes too, and mother was in the same situation.
Actually, the people need more money to live, I mean, all the things, like food or electricity for example, are more expensive and this is one of the reasons why is necessary that the woman of the family work too, in relation to the past. Another reason: I think that women were tired about to be only in the house, and tired to do the same things everyday and every year for all the rest of her life. I would be tired too.
In relation to this, my personal opinion is this situation is a good thing in our life because men have some characteristics and women have others different and these features can be complemented and to get better results in different areas, but I don’t believe that we have to be equals with men and to be better than the others, I believe that is good to be different and I think that the more important aspect is that we must to have the same opportunities to personal development in every things that we would like to do and finally, other important aspect is respect for other people.
