title: Dusting off that old proposal: how to survive in the land of research.
abstract: Pediatric oncology nursing would benefit from more research directed toward questions that relate to the care of children with cancer. There are many ideas and proposals that are begun but never carried to fruition. This article will detail how to assess and rework a research proposal to provide the basis for a research project that will add to the scientific knowledge of nursing care of children with cancer.
