A nursing research paper is a thesis-driven academic paper that is written on a specific
nursing topic, by providing evidence supporting a specific topic. Using your clinical
practice, nursing education, evaluation, or using nursing methodology can also help
when writing a nursing research paper. The process follows systematic research to
explore given facts, apply nursing theories, and draw conclusions.
Choose a topic on something you are interested in. For instance, if you are inclined
towards geriatrics, choose topics such as fall or management of the aging population.
Other potential topics include patient safety, nurse education, nurse privileges, nursing
State laws and regulations, ethics, mental health treatment, healthcare informatics, and
changes in healthcare.
