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.

Fifteen Great Nursing Master's Dissertation Ideas To Consider

Stuck for ideas for writing your Master’s dissertation in Nursing? Consider some of the fifteen great ideas:

• The effectiveness of public information programs about Heart Health. A comparison of available information between 1970 and 2015. A review of the policies and effeciencies of the programs and a projection for 2020.
• The Challenges of Nurses returining to work after an extended leave of absence. The possibility of training updates. How does returning to work differ in other professions, for example teaching or law?
• The effectiveness of mentoring programs. The protocols of mentoring. The reality of mentoring programs in comparison to the idealized programs that are covered through a literature search. Comparison to mentoring programs in teaching.
• Looking at public confidence in hospital care. Which is the greatest influence: the media, personal experience or the related experience of a family member? How can negative confidence levels be improved?
• What the expectations in the level of professional nursing support by patients receiving palliative care? Do their expectations collate with the expectations of their family and the people providing the care program?
• What constitutes the best mutual strategies between care assistants and registered nurses to work together? Look not just at hospital settings, but also at residential nursing homes for people with brain trauma.
• When it comes to treating a patient how much of it is clinically based and how much is based on intuition and practical experience? Question whether we provide nursing students with sufficient hands on experience.
• Consider the amount of stress that a student nurse is put under when on placement. How does this compare to other professions such as teaching? Based on Literature and observations what improvements could be made?
• Why do Psychiatric Nurses have a higher incidence of burn out in comparison to an Orthopedic Nurse or a Nurse working at a GP surgery? Make comparisons and contrasts based on sound documentation and observation.
• Devise a program for Primary School Children that supports mental health issues. Focus on what is already available through covert activities within the curriculum and how they can be built upon. Stress the importance.
• Hospitals can be very difficult places for children with Asperger’s Syndrome (Autism Level 1 DSM V). has the use of the hospital passport been successful in supporting these children?
• We seem to be continually dealing with inclement weather. Develop a program for heath awareness during these times. Focus on all age groups. How can community nurses be supported during inclement weather?
• Pain management for children. How is the effectiveness of pain management measured? Do all of the health care staff that work with children understand how to cope with children who are experiencing pain?
• What are the most effective methods of dealing with adult pain management? Look at the benefits of using CBT alongside analgesics. What other psychological strategies are effective?
• The importance of supporting people with thyroid problems. Look at the changes in the information available to patients in 2015 compared to 1955. How can diet help support thyroid function?
