Nursing Science
“At Stony Brook Medicine, nurses at all levels are empowered to form meaningful clinical questions which might lead to new discoveries or improvements in practice. Whether our nurses are experienced or completely new to research and evidence-based practice (EBP), we have the resources to support nurses in the development of their skills. EBP and nursing research are very much engrained in our culture, and this ensures that our patients receive the best possible care.”
