[Nurses and nursing care research].

Nurses and nursing care research. Nursing practice is fundamentally a work of creation. Unique, singular, appropriate and helpful to the patient, every act of care aims to take root in the subtle fertile soil of the nursing art. A base which, in all humility, invites caregivers to demonstrate curiosity and a critical mind with regard to their practices. At Toulouse university hospital, research into nursing care has been consolidating practices for more than fifteen years.
