Cultivating clinical-academic partnerships and engaging nurses in evidence-based practice and research is increasingly important (Whalen et al., 2020;Albert et al., 2019; Storey et al., 2019). For decades, nurses have demonstrated creative methods in engaging in continuing education programs and increase research capacity within interdisciplinary teams from clinical to academic settings.
