I'm getting ready to graduate and I need your help with a research paper

Whoa, whoa,

Wait a minute, how did you present this to your Institutional Review Board? Did you tell them you were going to allnurses.com?

Is there a waiver? Informed consent? Exempted consent? or what?

Two weeks away then I wish you luck.

p.s. I am surprised that your research advisor didn't suggest you go to a specific Hospice nurse group months ago to ask to attach your questionnair to their newsletter...?

Gennavar, it's just a school paper for a research class not an "real" experiment for publication in journals. We don't have to go through all that drama. . The student is just trying to get through school.

I'd answer but I'm not a hospice nurse. I will move your questions to the Hospice Nurse forum we have here. :)

Hello,

Ahhh! thank you, that does change things. Sheesh on my initial reaction.

Original poster, must it be RNs who answer? I have worked in hospice care before as an unlicensed assistive personnel.
