Brainstorming a research problem for class

Published

I just started my RN-BSN program online, and for one of my classes, we'll need to develop a research question or problem in our specialties that we've witnessed. I work in the OR as a scrub nurse and have been trying to brainstorm a few ideas to choose from. Since I'm new, there's the idea of educating new nurses on the ways of the OR, or perhaps something related to minimizing the risk of surgical-site infections, or something to do with physician pick lists (ours tend to be terrible, and of course, doctors who don't communicate well assume we can read their minds), or something to do with counting at the end of a case?

I was hoping some of you might have other ideas to add or how to isolate a topic from these ideas. Anyone? Bueller?
