Evaluating Health Information Sources 

The site selected for analysis is www.nurselabs.com , whose mission is to provide free, open, as well as relevant information to nurses or students who aspire to be nurses to be able to grow and nurture their knowledge on nursing. The information on the site is free and open for everyone. Users are not asked to pay anything to access the articles or the quizzes that are on the site. The only challenge is that the contact us page is limited to only the email. No phone numbers have been indicated, and one will find it challenging when seeking to reach the site administrators. 

Qualified professionals review the information on the site. Besides, registered nurses write articles at the site. The information comes from trusted authors because their names and resumes are indicated in every article. The site provides quality information due to the credibility of the authors as well as the additional research conducted. The authors and editors are experienced working in hospitals or nursing education. This makes the information trustworthy. The site does not ask for any personal information and has a privacy policy where every site visitor can understand what the company does with any information that is collected. For example, the company may ask visitors to subscribe to its newsletter. The information is confidential and only used to secure the account of the user. In my opinion, the site is credible as the information is of high quality, and the articles are reviewed before they are uploaded to the website. The administrators’ approach of using content from registered nurses and the editors ensures that readers get quality and reliable information.
