   There aren't too many of us. I've been looking into PhD programs both in Nursing and other related fields since I'm interested in policy and administrative research. I'm looking in Canada, the US and the UK. The good thing about the UK is that you ha...

   shouldhavebeenapoet replied to noworries's topic in International

   Thanks for the replies! I did my direct entry MSc(A) in Nursing at McGill and really like the flexibility that we have with it in terms of the types of positions that my classmates got coming out. I'm still trying to decide where my true niche will b...

   shouldhavebeenapoet replied to CardioTrans's topic in Research

   I have some experience in non-nursing addictions research before I did my Masters in Nursing and then for my Masters I ran a qualitative study of nurses, but that's not much. What does a monitor do compared to a site coordinator? Thanks for the info!

   I understand why an individual would not want to spend money going back to school only to be in a lower paying position when you come out. But why is education valued so little in nursing? I think that their should be higher educational standards in ...

9. What is the purpose of Nursing Research??

   shouldhavebeenapoet replied to powerpooch's topic in General Students

   I've been impressed with the nurses that I work with, that even those without university degrees are open to integrating new research based practices. I think it depends on the setting and the educator. I work in a pediatric teaching hospital on an a...

10. Research Nursing

    shouldhavebeenapoet replied to teegeo's topic in Oncology

    I think that the qualifications that you need to be a research nurse depend on the type of research you are doing. For example I know of some clincial research jobs involving measurement of physical parameters and blood taking where only basic nursin...
