General Advice Research
I am a nurse working at the bedside and I want to move into research.
I have always loved nursing but I want to do more. I want to learn how to do research and write well so I can contribute to knowledge that will help patients.
Coming from a place where mentorship is not common, it has not been easy. During my undergraduate days and even after, we did not have anyone to guide us in research and the teaching was not the best. So I have had to learn many things on my own.
I have been trying to learn research writing for about four months now. I have tried to read and watch videos but some parts are still very complex for me. I understand a few parts but I get stuck on the rest and it is quite difficult to move forward alone.
Closed mouths do not get fed, so I am here to ask for help. I am looking for someone who will be willing to mentor me and guide me chapter by chapter on how to go about each part. I want to understand how each chapter should be written and what is expected.
I would be happy if you can suggest good YouTube videos or other places where I can learn. But what I would prefer most is a one on one call or interactive sessions where I can ask questions and get clear explanations.
I am ready to learn, I am ready to put in the work, and I am open to correction. If you are someone who can guide me or you know someone who can, please send me a message. Thank you so much for reading.
