Discussion Post: Issues and Trends of Nursing
According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the Masters prepared nurse "recognizes that the master's-prepared nurse applies research outcomes within the practice setting, resolves practice problems, works as a change agent, and disseminates results." Many research ideas emerge from practice and/or the educational environment. Formulating a well-built research question is challenging. Asking the right question facilitates the search process when conducting a review of the literature.
1. Read the article "Asking the clinical question: A key step in evidence-based practice."
