Abstract:
This article details the collaborative effort between a team of academic nurse educators with educators in a practice setting in the planning and implementation of a simulation-focused study to develop clinical judgment and clinical competency among new-to-practice nurses enrolled in a nurse residency program. Competing priorities between achieving the aims of the study and initiatives within the healthcare system are detailed, and suggestions for future joint research-focused efforts between academic and practice-based educators are offered.
