[Research in nursing, an aspect to be explored for the development of science and technology]

A bibliographic study was carried out at the Pinar del Río Medical Science Faculty about the real possibilities of professional nurses in the scientific research field. The goal was to determine if such professionals are able to involve in creative activity. The results are supported by Cuban and foreign bibliography. In the comparative graph, the interrelation of the research process with nursing activities is shown. It is concluded that there is no contradiction between research activities specific to the profession and other types, as well as the research devoted to basic sciences. It proves that this specialty is not limited to the parameters considered by it.
