Question about research

Are YOU willing to risk the validity and professional quality of your research on the belief that anonymous posters here on AN are al 100% honest about being nurses??? And with that ambiguity, will they participate honestly?

Usually for new students (and new members), respondents here are very reluctant to participate in any 'cattle calls' for school projects. How 'scholarly' is a project when the research subjects can't be vetted?

To be fair, a lot of qualitative research is done through anonymous survey. It's a totally acceptable and accepted research methodology. For QUALITATIVE studies.

So, in answer to your question about how scholarly a project is, the answer can be "very"

To be fair, a lot of qualitative research is done through anonymous survey.

I did an anonymous qualitative survey study as a part of both my MSN and DNP work-BUT I only surveyed nurses in the workplace.

OP: A better approach is to perhaps feed this request through a nursing professional organization. I know AACN posts requests for participants to its membership- so you would know who you are dealing with.

Check with your IRB advisors who will be approving your work. Our opinions don't really matter - theirs do.
