Research
Is Every Nurse's Business..
From
the earliest days of nursing education and onward nurses are
discovering that nursing is a research based profession and that
Nursing
education is a life long process. "Nursing Research"
is an ongoing process
as applicable to the halls of academia as it is to clinical
nurses, nurse
managers, case managers, and clinical specialists. Whether
developing and refining standards of care, evidence based
patient care plans, or preparing
unit in-service reports, nursing research is an ongoing part of
practice. The
resources, articles, and reviewed web sites included in the nursing
resource directory are a valuable source of specific
information about agencies,
programs, and specialized topics. This section is intended to
supplement
that information by providing select reviewed sites that
specialize in Nursing
Research as well as tools to help you conduct your studies.
Sources of grants
and funding are listed on a different resource page. To submit a
