Class, I urge you to go to the Announcement titled “Important: Assigned Article for Week 4 & 6 Assignment and download the article “Gratitude journals can improve nurses’ mental well-being ” to your computer. The same article is used for the Week 6 Assignment. Due to licensing rules, the library only allows a few people at a time to access the article so please download the article and sign out of the library so other students may access the article. The assigned article is the only resource to be used for the Week 4 and Week 6 assignments. The article is the same for both assignments, so you only need to download it once. The required worksheet and template for each assignment are also located in the assignment guidelines for you to download.
