Research Nurses' Retreat
Guest Blogger: Joan K. Bardsley, MBA, RN, CDE, FAADE
Many of MHRI nurses met a few weeks ago at the inaugural MHRI Nursing
Research Retreat at the Sheraton Hotel in Columbia, MD. The group included
registered nurses working throughout MHRI who have not had the opportunity to
meet each other face-to-face. There was a great deal of engagement based on the
commonality of a nursing background, despite different locales and positions.
Several nurses shared the work they were doing on studies, lessons learned, and
pearls of wisdom.

Collectively, the group decided that research nurses should
continue to meet face-to-face for a longer period of time and use technology to
stay connected in the interim. It was clear that nurses have a
unique perspective on research, what they bring to MHRI, and the added value
they bring to research participants’ experience given their nursing background.
