Quantitative Research Article Critique

Title

As far the title of the article is concerned, it is good enough in sense that it is between 5-10 words, which is a good sign for the title. It is adequately defining the purpose of the research. The title is not misleading or confusing as it is adequately defined. According to Polit, & Beck, (2010) the baccalaureate education is an important and valuable record or the official documents specifically due to its intentions on which it is based. Moreover, it is considered a liberal education. Consequently, the research title is focusing on the baccalaureate education in the nursing and patient outcomes. Polit, & Beck, (2010) assert that this particular education has to be seen in perspective of nursing and patient outcomes. It is suggesting good key variables e.g. patient outcomes, baccalaureate education etc and the study population as well, which is from 50% to 80% by 2020, which is being called as concepts or variables by Polit, & Beck, (2010).
