WeRPN Fellowships are Advancing Care in Real-world Contexts

As part of our research strategy, WeRPN is committed to growing the body of knowledge about the RPN role and the contributions that RPNs make to the health system. To help support this goal, each year, WeRPN provides funding for two RPN research fellowships up to a maximum of $12,500 each. 

The research fellowships provide opportunities for RPNs to build applied research knowledge capacity and capability in “real-world” contexts, facilitate a culture of curiosity and clinical practice improvements, and nurture confidence and competence in leading small-scale research studies for RPNs. Read on to learn about the experience of two RPNs who recently participated in the program and shared their stories. Hear about their projects focusing on the RPN experience, what the research fellowship process was like, how the role of the RPN in research and clinical practice was valued and elevated within these workplaces and how this could be you in the future.
