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.
