Role conflict: appropriateness of a nurse researcher's actions in the clinical field.
This study aimed to judge the appropriateness of a particular nurse researcher's actions in a vignette from the clinical field, and to explore frameworks used to determine the appropriateness of actions. Twelve experienced nurse researchers were interviewed by telephone. They were given four vignettes of actual research situations and asked to comment and explain their judgement on the appropriateness of the nurse researcher's actions. The findings confirmed blurring of boundaries between professional and research roles for nurses. Nurses appear to use a mixture of frameworks, including scientific/rigour method, ethics, nursing competencies and their own personal-moral values. Frameworks need to be discussed and debated so that neophyte researchers are well-prepared before they enter the field to conduct research.

Using evidence to demonstrate the value of nursing.
This article explores the position of nursing in relation to the evidence-based medicine (EBM) and clinical effectiveness (CE) initiatives. It argues that both activities are based on at least three implicit assumptions. By exploring these assumptions nurses can become more involved in evidence-based practice and clinical effectiveness activities.

Nurses and nurse practitioners. Part 2: Perspectives on care.
The recent growth of the nurse practitioner (NP) movement has coincided with rising interest in the area of professional development. Nurse practitioners have been criticised for moving away from nursing and becoming 'mini-doctors', a charge which they hotly deny, pointing out that they are actually trying to become 'maxi-nurses'. How do nurses and nurse practitioners see their future professional development? If NPs really are intent on becoming 'mini-doctors', might there be evidence of this in their aspirations for professional development? In the second of two articles comparing the perspectives of nurses with those of nurse practitioners, this study investigates opinions about future professional development.
