Please consider how research influences our practice of nursing and our decision making process. How many of you have participated in research initiatives in your facilities? Consider potential research projects you could conduct on your unit’s and their potential impact on patient care. The American Nurses Association offers a great resource for nurses, the "Research Tool Kit". Take a look at the site if you have a moment and share your feedback.
