title: How to form a research interest group.
abstract: Nursing's subject matter often requires a multifaceted perspective that calls for pooling skills and knowledge. Research interest groups provide a way for busy academic and clinical nurses to pool their knowledge and conduct meaningful research. They enable experienced and inexperienced individuals with common concerns to work together and accomplish what each might not be able to do alone.
