Nursing

At Mayo Clinic, nurses play an important role in research that helps improve patient care. Some nurses have advanced degrees and lead studies to find new and improved ways to care for people. All nurses are encouraged to take part in research — whether by doing small studies on their unit or by teaming up with expert researchers.

Some of our nurse-scientists have received national and international recognition for their work. Their research has helped improve the health and well-being of people everywhere.

Nursing research makes patient care better, helps nurses grow in their careers, and adds to Mayo Clinic's strong reputation for high-quality healthcare.
