OADN Research Support for Members
OADN Members: Publicize Your Research Survey
Our unique member benefit allows any OADN member to submit requests for survey promotion via OADN’s network. You can distribute your survey as well as participate in your fellow nurse educators’ surveys and original research distributed through OADN. Your participation in these IRB-approved studies helps drive evidence-based solutions, professional growth, and continued recognition of the critical role of ADN programs.
Research and survey requests from students must be approved by the student’s nursing program dean, director, or faculty advisor. Completed applications with requests to survey OADN members will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Approval of research proposals depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the purpose of the research and feasibility of the research plan.

Active Member Surveys
ADN educators are invited to contribute to a national study examining psychological workload, workplace stressors, coping strategies, and the institutional support available to nurse educators. By participating, you lend your voice to a national effort to better understand the workload, stressors, coping strategies, and support needs of nurse educators. Your insights will generate essential data that not only validates the experiences of faculty but also informs research, guides institutional policy, and promotes healthier, more sustainable teaching environments for current and future nursing educators.
