Dissertation?

Hi i am thinking of ideas for my dissertation
Third year peadiatric nursing
I have one idea - The Physical Environment of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 鈥?Does it meet the Premature Newborns developmental needs
Trying to find articles and research papers on it
Any ideas? Please help!

I love your idea - but finding articles may be a pain. I agree with TR that your academic advisor's opinion is most important. If he or she is recommending that you do this then I'd start with Medline and Psychlit. These are academic search engines usually found via your library's website. You can search for any and all articles pertaining to your subject area. First you need to establish what are the developmental needs of a premature infant and then compare and contrast that with the physical environment of the neonatal ICU. You may also want to look at research in the area of education and developmental needs of infants in general.

Good luck

what about fat kids? there must be loads of stuff on that on the internet

While many of us could offer opinions, the one that matters is your dissertation advisor's. Consider anything you read here as pure disconnected speculation.

If you want the full skinny on what a dissertation involves, get your hands on Bernstein's "How to Complete and Survive a Doctoral Dissertation". Even if this isn't doctoral level, the book will provide excellent guidance for every step of the process.
