Abstract
NURSES AND NURSING STUDENTS are often drawn to qualitative research. Opinions vary on the explanation for this, but one possibility is the ease of understanding the patient's story when told in narrative terms. Nursing values the unique individual and his or her experiences. Qualitative research delves into those rich events to discover new knowledge. Another plausible idea is the common resistance to statistics, which is inherent in quantitative research! The science of nursing is advanced by the appropriate use of qualitative methods, quantitative methods, and blends of both. Mary W.
