Research for nursing: whose job is it anyway?
Who is supposed to be generating the research evidence base for nursing? There is a clear demand for clinical practice to be evidence based, but there is no nationally acknowledged career structure which makes it clear whose job it is actually to do research for nursing. The roles and responsibilities of nurse teachers are confused, not only because of the recent exodus into universities and the consequent cultural changes, but also because of how they are funded.
