We open with two extraordinary papers that projects the concept dear to our heart, of the ” Research Nurse”.

First, Dr. Sindhu Sivanandan, Chief Neonatologist, and Chief Nursing Officer Lydia, from Radial Road report on Empowering clinical participation by nurses in Academics and Research.

Illustrating this concept, Gowdham et all from Marathahalli write on Transforming Nurse Competence, from Policy to Practice.

Such initiatives can transform the quality of patient care, Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction at Kauvery Hospitals.

For the first time we feature a study from Dialysis Technologists.
