title: Addressing the community research needs of baccalaureate students.
abstract: This article describes a course designed to prepare RN-BSN students to assimilate relevant research findings into clinical practice. The course was developed as faculty accepted the challenge of providing didactic content completely online. Guided by two faculty members, two groups of students developed research proposals to respond to community needs identified by a local hospital and a nursing center.
