MNRS Connection Central  

A Special Place for Conversations and Consultations

 

MNRS Connection Central at the Annual Conference will enable conversation, consultation, and potential collaboration among members with highly similar research interests.

 

We will provide a designated space where members can gather informally or formally to converse about their research projects and ideas, obtain consultation from one another, and explore potential collaboration.

 

Consider Using Connection Central to:

  • gather a small group to discuss collaborating on a study or writing a grant application.
  • gather a small group to begin planning a pre- conference workshop or a symposium.
  • provide information sessions about training opportunities.
  • meet with an MNRS senior scientist to consult with you (be sure to set up your meeting before the conference).

Call for Podcasts: "Nurse as Scientist"

Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science

Deadline: February 15, 2010 

 

The image of "nurse as scientist" is largely absent from public perception of nurses and nursing. The purpose of this competition is to create a series of podcasts that can be widely disseminated to the public to increase the visibility and public awareness of nurses' roles as scientists in the development of health care knowledge.
 
This competition is open to all students in U.S. nursing programs who wish to develop and present to the public an image of "nurse as scientist" using the public- and youth-friendly cyber-technology of podcasting. The contest will occur in two phases, with regional winners announced by the regional research societies, and the national winner featured at the 2010 National State of the Science Congress on Nursing Research.
