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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
