Research Steps

Welcome Nursing 470 Students!

Please feel free to reach out to me, Pat Love (plove2@linfield.edu), if you have any questions or need additional assistance. Here are the five major steps to conducting research you will be working through in this guide:

Step One: Formulating a Research Topic/Question

Coming up with a research topic can often feel daunting, so try sticking with a subject that you feel passionate about!

If you're feeling stuck, try brainstorming for ideas by writing down everything that comes into your mind on a blank piece of paper. This will often generate good ideas for your research topic.
