i know this has probably been asked before, but does anyone have any ideas on research topics?? i asked a few other nurses at work, and i was given some good examples from their experience with these types of classes, but i haven't been able to find any supporting evidence or articles on their topics.
the type of project i would like to do. . . . .. well, i don't want something too heavy. . . . . . i would hate to bore my audience.
a co-worker said she did her project on "rocking chairs used in the prevention of dvt". i thought that was a good idea, not too boring, something that is different. but i can't find research.
so, if anyone has ideas that are a little different. . . . .i would appreciate them!
thanks!

What areas of nursing interest you? There are so many areas you could research, that really it would be better to look at a specific area and then start thinking about specific questions.
Do you have any burning issues? Are you interested in wound care? How about particular practices you have witnessed that you wonder about?
You are more likely to be able to pull off a really good piece of research if it is your idea rather than someone else's passion.
So, nursing care, HR, clinical practice issues - the world if your oyster.
Good luck with it and come back if you have more questions we can help you with...

Hi Grannynurse,
I have the same problem and I am an undergraduate student. I don't have any specialty yet, i'm still weighing the different options

Trying going to http://www.thelibraryiscoming.com/general/ideas-for-nursing-research-projects.htm, it is quick a article that has helped me develop ideas and background for some of my nursing projects.
Good Luck!
