<strong>Nurse</strong>s everywhere function under one common<br />
goal: to serve as a patient advocate and to provide<br />
evidence-based care (Tingen, Burnett, Murchison,<br />
& Zhu, 2009). However, in order to provide<br />
evidence-based care, evidence must be available.<br />
In all of the aforementioned examples, the nurse<br />
was able to use their clinical experiences and<br />
knowledge of inadequacies in the field to develop<br />
a line of research. Ultimately, nurses may further<br />
contribute to improving healthcare by producing<br />
scholarly works regarding nursing practice,<br />
administration, or education.<br />
