Abstract

Multisite nursing research can be a challenging endeavor. A unique partnership between 5 clinical sites and a national research center of a healthcare technology organization led to the successful implementation of a multisite study. Strategies for success, obstacles encountered, benefits, implications for the Magnet^(R) journey, and leadership are discussed.
