Abstract

A center for nursing excellence provides a structure for organizing professional nursing within an organization. It gives nursing leadership a method of explaining, demonstrating, and showcasing nursing. A center for nursing excellence provides a method of interpreting the primary and multiple roles of nursing, including patient care delivery, education, research, leadership, and management. A center for nursing excellence can be used as a base for the development of practice models, education and development programs, nurse recruitment strategies and retention, and leadership and management programs.

Research institute for nurse scientists responds to the challenge to expand and strengthen research focused on breast cancer in African American women.

In an era where scientifically derived 'evidence' is used as a basis for nursing practice, it is imperative that nurses have a breadth of knowledge relative to the fundamentals of nursing science; knowledge of the current standards of nursing and medical practice; and knowledge of the characteristics, needs, concerns, and challenges of diverse consumer and patient population groups. Yet, while a significant body of 'evidence' that describes the experiences and needs of African American women across the breast care continuum has been generated, research suggests that there is a need to expand and strengthen this body of science. This report presents an overview of a decade of research focused on breast cancer among African American women and describes an initiative funded by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to expand and strengthen nursing science that aims to reduce and/or eliminate excess breast cancer morbidity and mortality among African American women. Cancer 2007.
