THE ART of
NURSING RESEARCH
in ART
The Nursing Research Interest Group (NRIG) is committed to advancing nursing research in practice, education, and policy. To promote nurses’ and the general public’s understanding of nursing research and its value to health care, we are curating an online gallery of creative and artistic expressions of nurse researchers’ and students’ experiences in and perspectives of nursing research as part of nursing praxis. We seek submissions that address the overall aim above and/or any of the following guiding questions:
1. What does nursing research mean to you?
2. What distinguishes nursing research in the health care field?
3. What led you to nursing research?
4. How has nursing research become a part of your praxis?
5. From your perspective as a nurse researcher or student who has been involved in nursing research, what does nursing research (in general or your own specifically) contribute to health care?
6. What advice do you have to nurses entering nursing research?
We welcome submissions across any creative or artistic genre, including but not limited to:
- Art (painting, drawing, collage, crochet, photography, etc.)
- Written/spoken word (e.g. poetry, found poetry, word clouds, etc.)
- Multimedia stories (e.g. short film, video, short podcast, etc.)

- Creative/Artistic piece as an image, document, and/or multimedia file
- A short description of the work and, if needed, what your thought process was/what you want to convey with the piece. This could be written and/or in audio/video format.
Submissions will be reviewed and curated for a series of social media posts and may also be posted on the NRIG website. By submitting an artistic piece, you will also be asked to consent for posting publicly.
