The Future of Nurse Scholarship: The Ethical Challenges (Reprinted with permission)

Abstract

The advancement of a healthcare discipline is reliant on the discipline’s ability to produce rigorous scholarship activities and products. The healthcare disciplines, especially nursing, are facing ever-changing priorities as shortages loom and exhaustion permeates the climate. Empirical public health priorities during the pandemic have dominated professional healthcare literature and global health communications. This article offers ethical implications for the discipline of nursing as it seeks the advancement of scholarship. Topics include straight-thinking issues surrounding national policy statements on nursing and medicine, the big data movement, and the evolutionary return of competency-based nurse education.
