Sharing the value: The PhD degree in nursing

Students bring a passion for knowledge and learning to the academic setting that infuses energy into the classroom. I have found this infusion of energy to be particularly invigorating when students are working on their research doctorate. Their weaving of innovation, complexity, and theoretical perspectives all intertwine with their clinical expertise to come up with new insights. Not only are the PhD students constructing novel solutions to problematic issues, but they also challenge many of our staid and somewhat entrenched perspectives on the configuration of the curriculum.
