    111. Balancing Life and Death and Nursing Science

    What it takes to be a nurse scientist-in-training and a practicing clinician at the bedside requires a level of emotional maturity I think is likely entirely unique. I have immense respect for your work, and no one should ever make you feel as if you are a lesser researcher or scholar because of your clinical practice. Relationships with patients is why we do what we do.

    109. Philosophical laziness and problems of replication

    Don't become an evangelist for Capital S- Science. Instead, be open to the idea that you may not know what you think you know based on singular studies that have never been replicated, and may have results which actually fail the false discovery test.

    108. Practice-changing clinical research is rare

    How often should you expect the clinical research in your field to change your practice? If we assume Price's Law holds in health research regarding the validity of non-Null findings, we should expect a small fraction of published research to provide 'true' results. And amongst them, a smaller and smaller number will harbor all the 'large' effects.

    105. Don’t mistake experience for truth

    Don't devalue new nurses' experiences and assume that, just because you've been in practice a long time it means your practice patterns are based on truisms. The way you've learned to do something and the fact that it's 'worked for you,' doesn't mean it's inherently true. Oftentimes, when studied, we learn what we thought we knew was true... isn't.

    104. Scientific evidence trumps medical eminence

    The burden of proof to demonstrate efficacy of biomedical tools (namely, drugs or surgery) is on biomedical scientists and physician-investigators. We are too quick, as a society, to assume their science is particularly good, just because it's popular, they're confident in what they do, and what they do appears impressive. Eminence is trumped by evidence every time, and some things that were hitherto dearly held beliefs by medical scientists as true have been crumbling down around them over the last fifteen years. Some biomedical findings are true and stand the test of time. Most don't.
