Call for Podcasts: "Nurse as
Scientist"
Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science
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.
