Abstract

Academic nursing needs to seriously examine its abandonment of undergraduate and graduate research projects as prerequisites for graduation, as we inadvertently are creating generations of clinicians without an appreciation for or commitment to scholarship and knowledge generation. Simple restructuring of research courses dramatically changed students' perceptions of nursing science pursuits.
