The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa\u2019s Nancy Atmospera-Walch School of Nursing<\/a> (NAWSON<\/abbr>) recently launched the Hui to promote Opportunities for the development of Nurse Scientists<\/a> (HONU<\/abbr>) program, designed to enhance student learning skills in nursing research. HONU<\/abbr>, a faculty-student organization, aims to foster mentoring, professional and peer networking and other activities that promote the development of nurse scientists.<\/p>\n

—Roman Miguel Dole, Nursing student<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“HONU<\/abbr> was formed to encourage nursing students to learn more about nursing-led research and inspire them to consider careers where they can actively advance nursing science,” said Gary Glauberman, faculty advisor for HONU<\/abbr> and NAWSON<\/abbr> assistant professor. “Hawaiʻi<\/span>\u2019s nurses have a lot to contribute to the nursing field, and by engaging in research early in their careers, nursing students can significantly impact programs, policies and practices that improve nursing care.”<\/p>\n

Through the program, students will have the opportunity to work closely with nursing scientist faculty to develop research skills and knowledge while working on a small research project linked to the main line of research. <\/p>\n

“The experience that students will gain extends beyond any research course,” said Donna-Marie Palakiko, NAWSON<\/abbr> assistant professor. “They are part of a research team and will learn about team science, community partnership and being a trusted researcher.”<\/p>\n

A launch event for HONU was held in June.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nearly 50 student participants attended a launch event in June, where they were introduced to the HONU<\/abbr> program and had the opportunity to meet the Associate Dean for Research, Holly Fontenot, as well as nursing faculty members Samia Dutra, Glauberman, Cynthia Greywolf, Merle Kataoka-Yahiro, Frankie Hale, Kyoung Lee and Palakiko.<\/p>\n

Roman Miguel Dole, an undergraduate nursing student attended the event and is excited about the program’s offerings. <\/p>\n

“I was able to learn about the ‘behind-the-scenes’ of research. It has introduced me to new approaches to conducting my own studies, such as using a pilot study, selecting a population properly, and adapting methods from other researchers,” he said. “I\u2019m excited about learning more about designing studies and seeing them implemented to benefit the intended audience.”<\/p>\n

HONU<\/abbr> also facilitates nursing students\u2019 participation in the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program at 糖心视频<\/abbr> M\u0101noa<\/a>, which provides financial and programmatic support for students to engage in mentored research.<\/p>\n
