What are the importances of research in nursing?

RN's are the first people you see when you go into the doctor's you don't see the doctor's takin your vials, you don't see the doctor's doing much of the injections. A nurse is the person that makes up your plan of care, not the doctors! the nurses are the ones that notice your first signs and symptoms not the doctors. Doctors wouldn't be anything with out the help of their nurses! PERIOD!

the importance of research in nursing is one of people. it helps nurses to better maintain the condition and health of thier patient, as well as improve treatment overall. a majority of healthcare is actually performed by nurses. (especially in the military) so it makes sense to conduct research on that front as it is the "frontline" of medicine

like any proffession nursing also needs research,more over it is the question of life for people.
