She d recommend research to any nurse with a passion for knowledge. It depends on your interest and stage of life. I d just read about. A nurse researcher has an edge, Frazier said, because a nurse will be concerned about intervention. A geneticist who hasn t ever seen a patient doesn t think about what might help, she said.
Opportunity also plays a part.
In rural Oklahoma, Frazier lived nowhere near a doctoral program. But when she moved to Houston, she jumped at the chance to earn a doctorate and to continue her research with the postdoc. I do it because I m interested and passionate. I enjoy the research. I m constantly thinking about my research.
