title: Removing the cobwebs: one nurse's experience understanding the role of the trauma research nurse.
abstract: Trauma research nursing and nursing research in general are not always understood or readily embraced by clinicians in the nursing profession. A reflective journey of a trauma nurse, new to the world of trauma research, is presented with an overview of the lessons learned along the way to becoming more experienced in this role. Various aspects of the role of a trauma research nurse are discussed along with suggestions for how a nurse can potentially make the transition into and growth in this role a smooth one.
