==Nursing Research and Scholarship==
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-left:4em; max-width:66em !important;">PhD prepared nurse scientists advance the unique body of nursing knowledge through the development, testing, and dissemination of nursing science.  Nurses with Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degrees are clinical scholars who are prepared to translate research into evidence-based clinical practice using informatics and quality improvement models, and to provide organizational level leadership for improved performance within systems. All nurses should be prepared to understand and work to promote well-being amongst themselves as well as patients, families, and communities and ameliorate health care problems within their scopes of practice at local, state, national, and global levels.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-left:4em; max-width:66em !important;">We believe nursing research and scholarship are essential for advancing the science of nursing and improving the health and well-being of individuals, families, communities and populations. Through the generation, translation, dissemination, and application of knowledge, nurse scholars contribute to evidence-based practice, innovation in health care delivery and improved health outcomes. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15px; margin-left:4em; max-width:66em !important;">We believe all nurses have a responsibility to engage in scholarly inquiry appropriate to their roles and to use evidence to inform practice, education, leadership and policy. Doctoral prepared nurses contribute to the advancement of nursing and health care through scientific discovery, evidence translation, quality improvement and systems leadership. </p>
