A dissertation, or thesis, is a well documented essay on a topic of your choosing to research and contains precise knowledge in that specific area of research. In a dissertation, you must emphasize specific objectives and aims of the research that you are doing. With this discourse, you are to formally communicate your research and your knowledge to the reader.

It is the first step toward starting the detailed and original study that you will write. It’s difficult to figure out what you want to spend your time practicing and gaining enough knowledge on to write about with dedication. It can seem impossible to pick just one topic out of the thousands of things you could choose to study. One easy method is to flip through the pages of your study book to come up with dissertation topics that you might want to write about. Also, try to think about what you’d be interested in learning more about and then writing about it. As a nurse, what is important to you? is there something that you see in patients or in the hospital that you think is worth exploring more in depth and addressing? your topic will fall into a specific area of nursing.

Whatever area you practice or intend on practicing would be the best to do your dissertation on. Here are the areas of nursing: child health nursing medical surgical nursing mental health nursing pediatric nursing in conclusion, whether you choose to write your dissertation on one of the topics provided or if you have come up with your own topic, make sure to write about something you are interested in and knowledgeable on.

Emma graduated in september 2015 and is now working at watford general hospital as a band staff nurse on a paediatric rotational programme. _ describe what you enjoy in your job? i really enjoy interacting with children and their parents and helping to put them at ease in difficult and scary situations. One of my favourite things about my job is being able to explain what will be happening to patients and their parents and see how they are reassured and then just able to focus on getting better and going home.

Another of the favourite parts of my job is when a patient has been on the ward for several days and they are finally better and able to get home. It is always nice to see that a child has recovered well and you have been a part of that journey. describe challenges you have been confronted with and how you coped with them? time management is constantly a challenge, even in a 12.5 hour day there is rarely enough time to do everything that you want for your patients. But i have been told that this comes with experience and is something that i am very, very slowly getting better at. where do you see yourself in 5 years? i would like to be working towards a masters.

describe your experience at aru in 3 words? rewarding you get out of the degree what you put in revealing about all the things you can do with nursing fascinating i really enjoyed learning the theory and being able to see it in action, especially in the 2 nd and 3 rd years. On wednesday 21 january i had the pleasure of attending the launch of the anglia ruskin nursing research unit arnru which i found it to be an extremely interesting event. It sparked up a real interest in research that i wasn’t aware i had prior to today, but more importantly it drew together all the research and journal articles that i have read over my three years of study, to show that these findings have a direct effect on patient care. Although we regularly hear about evidence based care and are told to champion it as the gold standard in practice, to hear about research in the context of research nurses and having research commissioned, it really highlighted to me that the outcomes have a huge impact on patients. In fact, as was emphasised throughout the event, the key purpose of the nursing research unit and indeed nursing research in general, is to improve patient care driving nursing forwards into the future.

The event was very well attended by people including student nurses like myself, current nurse researchers, representatives from research and development departments from the various hospital trusts, lecturers and statisticians. This range of audience members led to lively discussions on the topic of research and ideas on how to make the field more accessible to clinicians and students alike. Indeed calls came for more involvement of student nurses in hospital based research work. As someone who had very little idea of what a research nurse actually does on a day to day basis, i wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion. As well as introducing the topic of research and the nursing research unit, some current and recent research work was shared with the audience.

As a student in the field of child nursing, i was fascinated by the work of professor sarah redsell whose area of interest is in the assessment and interventions of obesity risk factors in infancy. Not only had she and her team already done several studies into this area and developed an assessment tool, she has exciting research planned in the form of a feasibility study to see how the tool will work in the community with health visitors. Professor redsell’s example shows us how ideas can develop, via research, into being implemented for use by health professionals.

I look forward to hearing about future events from the nursing research unit and learning about the research that is produced from it. I would also like to send out warm congratulations to professor ruth taylor on being appointed the faculty of health, social care amp education’s permanent dean. Speaking on behalf of my fellow students, i am very glad that she will remain as our dean for some time to come. Lissie cork is schools amp colleges liaison officer for the faculty of health, social care amp education at anglia ruskin university. She often presents information on the application process, from entry requirements to personal statements and the interview itself, at the faculty’s events and so uses this blog to offer some advice on preparing for your interview.

It’s very rare to find someone who enjoys being interviewed in a formal setting, and when you do it is hard to fully believe them. Not only do you have to read through tons of information beforehand so that you are fully prepared for the day, but then you have the daunting walk to the interview room before being interrogated by one or even worse, more than one! official looking person who dares not break a smile. Ok, so i may be exaggerating slightly, but when you’re nervous it can sometimes feel like the most terrifying thing in the world. As i touched on above, interview preparation does not just begin on the interview day.
