The role of the Clinical Research Nurse as a study coordinator.

The role of the Clinical Research Nurse as a study coordinator. Order Description THE ROLE OF THE CLINICAL RESEARCH NURSE AS A STUDY COORDINATOR My instructor made the following statement as part of our discussion on this topic, it may also be of guide to you: ?There is a bit in the literature on this topic so you should have some success. The trick will be how to focus your thesis statement. Will you be making the argument that a nurse is better suited to serve as a study coordinator versus a non-nurse? Just something to think about; literature is a bit more sparse there but very much needed?. _______________________________________________________________________ The objective is to identify & discuss what is available (and maybe missing) in the published nursing literature on your topic. Requirements ? Review 5 articles, each authored by at least one RN & published since 2011 in a peer-reviewed, indexed journal. o Articles published within 5 years are typically seen as more current. ? Paper length: 6-8 pages (1,500-2,000 words), not including title, abstract, search history table(s), and reference pages. ? Use APA for setting-up, formatting, and organizing your paper (American Psychological Association, 2010). ? Your paper should have these sections: o Title page o Abstract page with keywords o Introduction (not labeled as such) o ? Include a clear, prominent, thesis statement in your introduction. ? Your thesis is ONE sentence. ? Bold or highlight your thesis statement. o Literature Review o Methodology o Results (or Findings) o Discussion o Conclusion (or Limitations, or Next Steps) o Search History table(s) o References ? Stepan, et al. (2011) is an example of an ROL paper without a search history table. ? Huang, et al. (2014) is an example of an ROL paper, often called a 'systematic review,' with a search history table. ? Catania (2012) and Broach (2015) are not ROL papers, but have examples of search history tables. Publishable, scholarly writing is a learned skill that takes practice & patience.
