Are you ready to earn your online nursing degree?

Writing a thesis presents an opportunity for graduate students to conduct scholarly inquiry, with the potential of publishing their finished paper. A thesis requires nursing students to identify a problem in nursing, and review academic literature while developing advanced research skills. Thesis advisors and committees guide students from the proposal phase to the final oral defense, a process that spans about two semesters.

Not every nursing student is required to complete a thesis. Some nursing programs offer a non-thesis option, in which candidates complete a final capstone project or oral examination on topics such as nursing theories and clinical practices.

The thesis process and requirements vary by school. Ohio State University’s master of science in nursing program’s final examination includes oral and written portions.

Want to know what to expect during the thesis process? Read on to learn how you can choose a thesis topic and orally defend your paper.

Choosing Your Nursing Thesis Topic

Nursing students must choose a thesis topic before they begin the research and writing process, typically within the first two terms of nursing school. A solid thesis must present an original argument, manageable research scope, and worthy academic pursuit. A thesis advisor or research professor will help to guide each student through the process of choosing a topic.

In the conceptual phase, candidates research potential thesis topics based on their interests within their nursing specialty. Students may start with a broad topic such as obesity and weight management, depression, or cardiovascular disease. To narrow their thesis argument, graduate students might focus on racial or ethnic groups, socio-economic issues, or current events.

After settling on a topic, students draft and submit a thesis proposal to an advisor or committee chair. Once this proposal has been approved, students can begin the formal work on his or her approved thesis topic.

While graduate students must complete a thesis to fulfill the requirements of a master’s degree in nursing, the thesis process also offers a chance for future nurses to immerse themselves in current academic literature and collaborate with fellow graduate students, faculty, and professors. A thesis can also serve as the foundation for doctoral studies. A thesis at the doctoral (PhD) level is called a dissertation.

Completing Your Nursing Thesis

Brainstorming a thesis topic begins as early as the first semester of a master’s in nursing program. The formal thesis process, which typically spans multiple terms, does not take place until the student’s final year, usually during the last term.

Thesis requirements vary by school, and students must meet specific deadlines and take prerequisite courses beforehand. At the University of Texas-Houston’s School of Nursing , candidates take a public health class before they submit a thesis proposal.

Future nurses work under the guidance of a thesis committee and advisor. The experience of writing a thesis trains students in original investigation, data collection, implementing research design, and public speaking. Candidates also learn to flex their analytical thinking skills and master a specific area of nursing as they develop the ability to analyze and draw conclusions through data.

At a program’s conclusion, students submit their thesis as a bound manuscript or electronic file. In addition to submitting a written report, students orally defend their final thesis in front of the committee. Many graduates also submit their manuscripts for publication.

Presenting Your Nursing Thesis

Graduate students generally orally defend their proposal and present their completed thesis in front of their committee. This committee also includes the thesis mentor, a faculty member specializing in the nursing discipline of their scholarly inquiry. There are generally 3 total committee members on a thesis committee.

Fellow graduate students or consultants outside of the college may attend presentations, if the process is open to the public. Otherwise, the thesis defense remains a private session, with students presenting their findings. The oral examination of the thesis takes up to one hour, but can last longer depending on how many questions the committee has for the student.

During that time, the committee evaluates the thesis based on how the research experience has shaped the student’s graduate education and the findings’ significance to the nursing field. When the exam concludes, the committee either accepts or rejects the thesis defense.

How is a Nursing Thesis Graded?

Nursing schools rely on each committee to formally grade each product in the thesis process. Some graduate nursing students may receive a letter grade, while other nursing schools adhere to a “pass” or “fail” policy.

To determine a grade, the committee assesses the thesis based on set criteria. Committee members look at the project’s key components, including the statement of purpose, literature review, research methodology, analysis, findings, and implications. The process and grading criteria for the thesis process can be found in the school’s graduate handbook. Most of these handbooks are published online for student review.

The thesis must identify significant issues or service gaps in nursing and present them in a concise and coherent fashion. Candidates must support all findings and analysis by research and explain the implications for healthcare.

The oral defense also factors into the grade. The committee grades the defense based on the quality of the student’s presentation, taking into consideration if the student spoke clearly and presented a logical and well-organized argument.

What is the Difference Between a Nursing Thesis and a Capstone?

A nursing thesis and a capstone demonstrate the student’s comprehensive knowledge and educational journey. Graduate students in a non-research track may have the choice of completing a clinical project. Doctoral of Nursing ( DNP ) students complete a capstone project.

Graduate-level nursing students work on an original scholarly inquiry during their thesis, while undergraduates recap their cumulative learning experience. The thesis process, which includes completing nursing courses and writing a proposal, takes place over the entire program.

• Publication The Discursive Positioning of the Advanced Nurse Practitioner in the Irish Healthcare System ( University College Dublin. School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems, 2022 ) Thompson, Wayne   ; 0000-0002-2734-436X Background: The Irish health service, in common with health services across the world, faces the challenge of operating within economic constraints while responding to changing demographics that increase demand for health and social care services. Within this dynamic environment, nurses, especially Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANP), are experiencing new challenges. Whilst nursing and medicine have established systems of disciplinary practices that produce nurses and doctors within historically-contingent role boundaries, these boundaries are becoming more fluid and porous. ANPs constantly negotiate these boundaries, offering the possibility of a new and potentially more liberating identity for them within the healthcare system. Uncertainty about the ANP identity results in the full potential of the ANP role not being realised and, consequently, ANPs are underutilised. This study aims to understand how ANPs are positioned within current nursing and health systems by making explicit the discourses that construct the ANP role and how they both enable and constrain it. Methods: The study is based on a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of healthcare professionals’ language-in-use. To gain an analytic purchase on participants’ language-in-use, James Paul Gee’s Tools of Inquiry and Building Task Frameworks were employed. In addition, Barry Oshry’s Organic Systems Framework (OSF) was applied to deepen the analysis and to help identify how the patterns of relationships and processes inherent in human systems manifest in language. Data were elicited from a literature review and document analysis as well as seven in-depth interviews and four focus groups involving twenty-nine participants including twelve ANPs, two staff nurses, eight nurse managers, one director of nursing and one nursing project officer, three medical doctors and two allied healthcare professionals. Findings: Language-in-use established that ANPs add value to the healthcare system from both a monetary and non-monetary perspective and highlighted the centrality of nursing to the ANP role. Language-in-use constructs an identity for ANPs as a medical substitute, an inferior role, yet an innovative addition to the system and a threat to existing structures. Language-in-use constructs tensions between independence and autonomy, on the one hand, and collaboration and control, on the other. Findings show that when hierarchical structures and professional self-interest dominate, systemic processes and relationships are impacted, resulting in a healthcare system that is out of balance. Whilst nursing research and professional scholarship are seen as central to the ANP role, discourses related to these elements were not prevalent in this study. Instead, ANPs are busied by the demands of the clinical aspect of the role, and the ANP role itself is based around the performance of tasks that are mastered by experience rather than erudition. Conclusions: This study alerts healthcare professionals to the ways in which discourses influence opinion and frame the ANP role. To meet the demands of an ever-changing, dynamic healthcare system, it is vital that ANPs are supported and allowed to ‘advance’. When Conversations and Discourses disparage the ANP role, they should be challenged. We need to move away from positioning ANPs as a marginal and contested presence in the health system and instead see their role as making an important and necessary contribution to it. ANPs need to clearly articulate their role, the value that it adds to the healthcare system and demonstrate how it aligns with and complements other healthcare professionals’ roles. ANPs need to become more visible and vocal, and more engaged in policy formulation. They should recognise and harness the tremendous strength and rich diversity that they collectively represent. This is key to maximising the ANPs potential and strengthening their distinctive contribution to the healthcare system.   297
• Publication A Participatory Action Research Study to inform the Development and Implementation of Combined Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease Care Provided in the Context of Advanced Practice Nursing ( University College Dublin. School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems, 2020 ) Blanchfield, Denise   ; 0000-0002-8726-7538 The rise in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease across the age spectrum has been highlighted as a major public health concern and is correlated with increased economic burden, patient suffering and mortality. Preventative care and early chronic kidney disease management strategies informed by best practice recommendations are associated with improved clinical outcomes, patient survival and reduced economic burden. However, opportunities to implement preventative and early management strategies are missed when the care for type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease are provided separately. Patients report an uncoordinated impersonal approach when type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease care is provided separately. Furthermore, facilitating a combined care strategy enhances care coordination, communication and quality. As current healthcare delivery strategies are failing to implement best practice early management strategies or achieve best practice targets, an alternative approach is required to meet the needs of care providers and patients. One such strategy was the development and implementation of combined type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease care, informed by best practice early management recommendations provided in the context of advanced practice nursing. Contemporary literary discourse indicates care provided in the context of advanced practice nursing is safe and effective, albeit there is no national and limited international evidence pertaining to the direct care contribution for patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. The main aim of this national and international unique study was to utilise co-created knowledge between health care professionals and patients to inform development and implementation of combined care provided in the context of advanced practice nursing. The outcomes of this study will inform development and implementation of future services for patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease led by advanced nurse practitioners. A Participatory Action Research approach was utilised, as this nonlinear iterative process facilitates flexibility and responsiveness to challenges presented within the current healthcare environment.   396
• Publication Evaluating the impact of context within implementation research ( University College Dublin. School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems, 2021 ) Rogers, Lisa   ; 0000-0001-8286-2082 The uptake of evidence-based healthcare interventions is challenging with, on average, a 17-year time gap between the generation of evidence and the implementation of change in routine practice. One of the key challenges to successful implementation requiring consideration is context. However, despite its noted importance, context remains a poorly understood construct, with a lack of consensus regarding how it should be accounted for within research. Subsequently, this research addressed this gap by exploring the following research questions: How does context influence the implementation of a collective leadership team intervention? Does context contribute to variances in implementation success across settings? If so, how? A systematic review was conducted which highlighted that inconsistencies exist when defining, assessing, and analysing context. These findings supported the development of an operational definition of context and the creation of a practical approach for measuring the construct. Using a multiple case study design and a triangulation of qualitative research methods (involving observation and interview data), this practical method was applied to evaluate how context influences implementation within two multidisciplinary healthcare teams. Two overarching themes were generated from the data. The first revealed the bidirectional influence of context and implementation, highlighting how these concepts dynamically interact, respond, and mutually evolve. The second theme addressed the micropolitical concepts of power, authority, and influence as essential contextual determinants impacting implementation. This thesis contributes to the implementation science literature by 1) developing an operational definition of context to improve the coherency and consistency with which the term is used; 2) advancing a practical method that captures the dynamism of the concept and creates actionable, detailed findings; and 3) exposing the impact of team-level contextual factors on implementation success. This valuable knowledge will help researchers negotiate the everyday realities of healthcare, supporting the successful implementation of change in routine practice.   212

The following are good examples of strong thesis statements.

Thesis statement 1

To plan and fund healthcare, local health networks are better at improving the patient experience and access to care than a large central body.

Thesis statement 2

Positioning clients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in the prone position increases ventilation and decreases mortality rates.

Pitfalls to avoid with thesis statements

Now that you have learned about strong thesis statements, take a look at four pitfalls to avoid when composing a thesis, as described in Table 6.2 and illustrated in Figure 6.5 .

Student Tip

Use of the First Person Perspective in a Thesis Statement

Even in a personal essay that allows the use of the first person perspective, your thesis should not contain phrases such as in “my opinion” or “I believe.” These statements reduce your credibility and weaken your argument. Your opinion will be more convincing if you use a stronger statement, such as: “As per the evidence, I argue that shifting money to preventative healthcare is important to reduce hospital healthcare costs.”

Why the Thesis Statement Is Backwards

Why the thesis statement is backwards.

by Natalya Zielnicki at windyconditions.net

I used to hate the phrase, “thesis statement.” In English and writing classes, it was a vague, overly-emphasized concept that stuck out in my humanities education like a sore thumb. I loathed assignments bidding my classmates and me to, “write a thesis statement,” and answer “what’s your paper’s thesis?” before setting out to do any research on the topic!

And for whatever reason, in spite of all the weight placed on this holy grail entrusted to young writers, I simply did not understand its importance. I would try to find a thesis — set out to prove that “Wilbur was highly humble until Charlotte wrote on her web, ‘Some Pig’” before finishing Charlotte’s Web . After “finding” my thesis I would sit in front of my computer, straining from word constipation until last minute panic hit me and I would write some awful paragraphs “supporting” my statement at the end of the first paragraph in an essay. This method was great at scraping me A-s, with occasional As or B+s on most papers…but it left me resenting writing. Drained of any creativity in the confines of writing a “thesis statement” every few weeks, I tried to avoid as many humanities classes as I could by taking more math classes.

Then, a wonderful kick in the face occurred during a few upper level math classes, which invariably taught me to write. Once you hit a few upper level math classes such as Analysis, a student will be asked to write a math proof. Sometimes the question is not put in the easiest way; assignments usually read, “is this statement true or false? Either find a counterexample or give a proof of this statement.” Oh, how I loathed such questions, where there was no black-and-white way to solve something!

But then, after many hours and sleepless nights, proof-writing started clicking , and my mind was molded into way of thinking that started trickling into many applications. Proof-writing is a wonderfully fulfilling process; it involves the creative steps of exploring, questioning, and then — once all the steps are laid out nicely in front of you — you neatly summarize it in plain English.

Consider, for example, the following proof from an old Number Theory homework set. Notice how no sentence is wasted; each explored step takes me closer and closer to the conclusion we make in our “proof” statement:

And this is how I learned how to write. I learned that writing is a logical proof: you explore, experiment, and each sentence becomes one step closer to the insightful conclusion you are about to make. That conclusion is your thesis. Don’t set out to prove a thesis first; as you think, experiment until you prove your newfound thesis. Similar to the above proof, the thesis statement isn’t meant to be some clean sentence at the end of the first paragraph of your five-paragraph paper. Instead, it is this polished result that you obtain by getting your hands dirty, and then unraveling it out until finally — you have it, in one beautiful statement or two. As you explore your topic, you venture into the unknown, and with each logical step and creative measure, you have pulled from the dredges of the unknown something that you and your readers will love and appreciate for all its glory. I guarantee it.

Sure, this method takes a little more research and thought than a nicely packaged handout that your teachers would like to show. But trust me, if you prod it, if you polish and polish some more, if you really put some thought into each paper and sentence you write, that thesis will shine. And you will soar in all your writing assignments from hereon out.

How to write a Thesis Statement in a nursing essay

Nursing essay writing format [Thesis, Structure]

A thesis statement is the most important part of your nursing essay . It should be a clear, concise, and compelling statement that outlines your main argument. It should also be based on research you have done and reflect your personal opinion. Follow these tips to help create a strong thesis statement for your nursing essay:

1. Start by identifying the problem you want to address. What problem do you think needs to be addressed in the nursing profession? For example, do nurses need more training in preventative care ? Do they need more support when caring for patients ? When writing about a problem that you haven’t personally experienced, it’s important to cite reliable sources that will help support your argument.

2. Be specific about the impact of this problem on nurses and patients . State how this problem has harmed nurses and patients in specific ways . For example, do nurses feel overloaded with work? Do they lack adequate resources to care for their patients effectively ? Be clear about the magnitude of the issue and how it impacts both nurses and patients.

3. Use evidence to back up your argument. Cite reliable sources that supports your thesis statement . For example, if you’re arguing that nurses need more training in preventative care , you can use research studies to back up this claim. Be sure to cite your sources so that readers can verify the information you are presenting.

4. Write in a clear and concise manner. Use specific examples and language to help illustrate your point. For example, rather than saying “Nurses need more support,” say “Nurses need more assistance from their superiors when caring for patients.” This will make your argument more clear and easier to understand.

5. Don’t be afraid to state your opinion. In fact, it’s important to do so. However, make sure that your opinion is based on evidence and research. Don’t simply state what you believe without backing it up with evidence or analysis.
