Conclusion
The purpose of this paper was to work through the process of generating, organizing and
designing a research study. In working through and presenting the various stages including
creation of a research question, designing, sampling, formulating a hypothesis, and data
collection techniques the writer gained an appreciation for the process and was able to
incorporate course teachings. Making research relevant and igniting an interest in nursing
research is an important role for educators and nurse leaders. Relevancy and interest have been
accomplished for this student as they now have a desire expand research knowledge and skills to
overcome the challenges and see the fictional proposal presented here become a reality.
