Nurse researchers study the responses individuals and groups have for a variety of health concerns.
The project I am about to describe provides undergraduates with an opportunity to apply research skills collaboratively and in a community setting. It is not gender specific. But it is important to note, that as nursing has historically been a profession that is largely comprised of women, it may be argued that its research potential has lagged because of its history. Gender issues have clearly had an impact on research funding. Yet, it is critical that nurses research their practices.
