Fostering Clinical Nurse Research in a Hospital Context.
Two components of the Magnet Recognition Program® are exemplary professional practice and the generation of new knowledge through research and clinical innovation. Within Magnet® institutions, exemplary professional practice is evidenced by collaboration. Hospitals and schools of nursing can develop collaborative relationships to promote a culture of inquiry in clinical care and generate research to advance nursing practice and nursing science. The authors describe a collaborative model between clinical nurses and an academic nursing research center that promotes involvement of clinical nurses in research.
