title: Staff nurses' experiences as co-investigators in a clinical research project.
abstract: This article discusses the development of a clinical research project that was initiated by staff nurses and ultimately received funding from the Center for Nursing Research, National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1988. Staff nurses from a large children's hospital in the midwest generated the clinical question and worked through the maze and mechanics of developing and implementing a team research project in the clinical setting.
