Conducting research and publishing findings is an important way to add to the body of knowledge of any specialty. It is important to convince nurses that a doctorate or other graduate degree is not essential to participating in research.
However, finding ways to motivate staff nurses to conduct nursing research can be difficult. From the outset, the process of completing a project can seem daunting and overwhelming.
