FNP grad student needs topic for thesis.

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

Hello all,

I am looking for a topic for my thesis/project. I was planning on doing a screening tool to assist identification of DRUG SEEKING BEHAVIOR in the ED, but it was found that there really isnt a knowledge deficit related to the use of Prescription Monitoring Programs. I would like to do a topic on pain but am having difficulty thinking of a topic and who I could educate (nurses, patients, caregivers). HELP:) Thank You!

I just finished a Coursera course on chronic pain. It was really fascinating. The instructor was James Fricton at the University of Minnesota, who based the course on his book The Last Scroll. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.
