Learning Nursing Research Through Faculty-Mentored Projects, Patricia K. Ravert, Ben Boyer, Kirsten Harmon, Holly Scoffield

Faculty Publications

Baccalaureate nursing educators have incorporated nursing research content into the curriculum for many years. Our university also proposes that students have a faculty-mentored learning experience at least once during their undergraduate education. Student research, guided by a faculty mentor, provides an excellent opportunity for students to learn about and participate in nursing research. The authors describe a unique experience of nursing students working as research assistants in a faculty research project using a human patient simulator.
