Nursing Research and Innovation

Take advantage of opportunities to write, present, research, explore and innovate throughout the Cone Health network. You’ll grow your knowledge and help improve patient care.

Even if you choose not to conduct research, you benefit from working in a health system where nurses continually measure, evaluate and improve care delivery processes.

Spirit of Inquiry

Join a team that fosters creative and innovative thinking. You’re encouraged to ask questions, conduct new nursing research projects, and guide positive change in our organization.

Cone Health Nursing Research Council

If you’re interested in getting started in research or research activities, find support, encouragement and advice from the Cone Health Nursing Research Council. This group can help you connect with nurse researchers and evidence-based practice experts. It also can help you find ways to share your research methods and findings.

If you are considering a project, review the Flowchart for Project Success. It WILL save you time and stress. [NOTE: For internal use and requires Cone Health Network login to access.]
