Nursing research promotes lifelong professional advancement of the discipline of nursing and fosters innovation. A Nursing Scientist will assist healthcare systems by offering a full range of Research and EBP services to meet their business needs, while meeting the ANCC Magnet® requirements. New knowledge generation through the conduct of research is a requirement for Magnet® recognition and redesignation.
