I have to write a research paper, and we get to pick the topic and I am totally lost! I have no idea where to start. I know I should pick something that interests me, but honestly I don't even know what that would be. I'm so busy with clinicals and studying that I don't have time to really know what interests me. How bad does that sound?! I know I like OB. I just need some guidance and my instructor hasn't been helpful at all. She just confuses me even more. Any ideas, suggestions, or points in the right direction? I would really appreciate it!!

Pick one of the subjects of your pathophys for your care plan. That way you kill two birds with one stone.

I know this is going to sound really off, but I was always interested in researching sexually transmitted diseases. It's amazing what can happen in the brain of a pt who has an untreated STD from years and years ago. Kooky, I know, but still fascinating. Good luck :typing

you can write about your experiences so far in clinicals or what inspired you to be a nurse?
or you can write about psychotoic disorders
or you can write about interesting diseases
or you can write about you daily nursing duties
or you can write about people who have been in rehab for legal/illegal drugs and how they do rehab and how they are after it all
or you can write about people that have had amputations and how it has changed their life and their medical precautions
just a few things
