Fundamentals of research methods are studied, and published nursing research findings are reviewed and critiqued for use in practice.

The role of integrity, accountability, and respect are stressed as key professional values in the pursuit of core knowledge. The opportunity to identify the scientific evidence underlying selected core nursing technologies will be examined, in addition to critiquing nursing research articles. Two classroom hours per week.
