NURS 8828 Research and Scholarship Residency

This is the second pre-doctoral, pre-candidacy seminar and laboratory experiences course. The seminar focus facilitates the transition of the emerging PhD nurse scientist from the role of knowledge consumer to knowledge creator. Faculty will act as catalyst to lead discussions, encourage individual philosophical growth and provide the appropriate milieu in which the students can begin to explore their new role as an emerging leader within the scientific community. Activities and discussions will assist students with epistemologic, ontologic and scholarly identity development within their peer community. An ongoing analysis of self/group identified needs or interests will be used to develop specific activities.
