A survey of BSN curricula: research content.
The purpose in this study was to survey educators in National League for Nursing (NLN)-accredited programs regarding the goals in the research component. The 21-item survey instrument was sent to 200 randomly selected schools, of whom 165 (83%) responded. The responses fell into two classes: cognitive goals, i.e., critical thinking and theory/practice; and professional skills, i.e., research utilization and clinical judgment. While a number of variables were analyzed, no significant findings were observed.
