Want to do a PhD? Some important things to consider

Liz Halcomb @LizHalcomb Editor, Nurse Researcher

Setting out on a doctoral study is a big and exciting decision. It is easy to be swept up in the urgency to enrol and not strategically plan this major step in your life and career. I am often approached by nurses wanting to do a PhD. Some have a clear idea of their proposed project, others have less clarity. The importance of thinking it through often only becomes apparent further down the track.
