“…Outcome measures and metrics of the HBNS include quantifying the number of publications, presentations, and research 1,21,23. Specific to research, nurse leaders may be interested in the size and scope (multisite studies) of ongoing research projects and the number of clinical nurses involved in nursing research.…”

“…Before recruiting an HBNS, the organization must create a job description that is very specific and outlines responsibilities. A scoping review found that role expectations (ie, authoritative directives) of clinically based nurse scientists are not well described 1. The organization's leadership must consider whether the nurse scientist will serve and lead the enterprise in EBP, or exclusively focus on research.…”

Nurses and nurse leaders directing clinical organizations can elevate scholarly inquiry by employing a PhD-prepared hospital-based nurse scientist (HBNS). This individual will shape the culture of clinical inquiry, leading and driving efforts to close the gap between knowledge and practice. As the nursing workforce struggles to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, collaborations between HBNSs and nurse leaders are essential to explore and test new nursing care delivery systems. Given the national shortage in the PhD-prepared nurse scientist talent pool, attracting and hiring the right candidate is critical. The purpose of this article is to provide practical recommendations for nurse leaders to introduce an HBNS into an organization as an important building block for nursing science and improved clinical practice. The role of the HBNS has evolved in tandem with increased education in the nursing workforce, evidence-based practice, and the explosion of implementation science. Before recruiting an HBNS, the organization must create a job description that outlines responsibilities, paying attention to the HBNS position within the organizational structure. Additionally, leaders must consider the candidate's characteristics for interacting with clinical staff. The senior nursing leadership team must recognize and appreciate the HBNS as a scholar and advisor.

“…The administrative and leadership role of nurse scientists involve a collection of critical tasks: (1) develop and maintain a supportive research infrastructure, (2) evaluate organizational readiness to support and foster a research program (Coulter & Orsolitis, 1991; Granger, Bryant, et al, 2021), and (3) identify factors that hamper or promote research utilization in the organization (Milne et al, 2007). Building a strong infrastructure may involve cultivating organizational capacity to conduct research.…”

“…Therefore, a facilitator for such activities is a nurse scientist salary that is supported in the organizational budget to provide time for this work (Logsdon et al, 2017). Other reported facilitators of the nurse scientist role involve institutional support for: Nursing research and EBP committees or councils (Birkhoff et al, 2020; Granger, Westlak, et al, 2021; Siedlecki & Albert, 2020); EBP process model for implementation and outcomes (Chesak et al, 2020; Migliore et al, 2020); Institutional champions for research and EBP (Vessey et al, 2017); Fellowship or Clinical Scholars programs in EBP and research to increase outcomes and develop staff (Brant, 2015; Carter et al, 2020; Granger, Bryant, et al, 2021; Milne et al, 2007; Mulvenon & Brewer, 2009; Schwartz, 2014; Siedlecki & Albert, 2020); Institutional infrastructure supporting EBP implementation and research, grant writing, and securing funds (Grange et al, 2005; Granger, Westlak, et al, 2021); and Software and technology platform access to collect and analyze data (Hickey, 2018). …”

Background:The role of the nurse scientist in the clinical setting is not well defined, which contributes to variability in role implementation, scope, administration, funding, and affiliation across healthcare sites. Aims:The aim of this scoping review was to identify attributes of the clinical nurse scientist role and its operationalization in the clinical setting through available evidence.Methods: A comprehensive, computerized search of the literature in PubMed, Medline, and CINAHL was conducted in early May 2020 by a medical research librarian and repeated in July 2021 and April 2022. The 5-step framework described by Arskey and O'Malley guided the review methodology. Two reviewers conducted an independent screen of all articles, followed by a full-text review of eligible articles by two independent reviewers each using a standardized data extraction template.Themes were then organized and synthesized using descriptive content analysis from the included articles.Results: A final sample of 55 full-text articles were included in the review. Overall, the findings suggest that the nurse scientist role in a clinical setting can be challenging to implement in complex healthcare environments. Successful models include the nurse scientist in a leadership role, alignment of research with institutional priorities, and strong support from senior leadership.Linking Evidence to Action: Findings suggest that standardized guidelines are lacking to govern the implementation of the nurse scientist role in the clinical setting. To succeed, the nurse scientist role must be valued and supported by organizational leaders.Further, access to resources to build infrastructure must be provided. The magnitude and scope of individual organizational support can be tailored based on the resources of the institution; however, the foundation of having institutional leadership support is critical to role success of the clinical nurse researcher.
