Nursing Education Research

There has never been a greater demand for nursing education research in recent history. Basic and advanced nursing practices are being defined by the new competences alluded to above and addressed in the next part as health care reform proceeds, yet there is essentially little evidence to support the teaching methodologies employed in nursing education. Furthermore, despite the fact that clinical education accounts for the majority of nurses' educational costs, little research has focused on clinical education models or clinical experiences that can help students obtain these abilities.
 Multidisciplinary research training programs, including postdoctoral training to prepare a cadre of nurses dedicated to developing the science of nursing education; and Efforts to foster the development of PhD programs with faculty expertise to mentor a new generation of nursing education researchers, possibly through mechanisms through the Health Resources and Services Administration.
