Research Day

[elizabeast7, ADN, BSN, MSN]

Hello!

We host an annual research day at my hospital to promote learning, evidence based practice and to show everyone what projects have happened, are happening or are in the works. We usually do a little game or activity. One year we "researched" whether home made cake vs store bought cake was better by having a taste test and people voted. Last year we had a magnet game where people had to balance magnets (we're submitting our magnet application this month).

Does anyone else do something similar? I would love ideas for a new activity, game or "research project"!!

I've tried googling it and I'm not coming up with good links.

Thanks.

I would make copies of a published research article that was pertinent to the unit(s). The challenge is that critiquing an article is a learned skill in itself. So I also suggest an article about how to critique a study.
