Partnering with the university nursing faculty to conduct research and publish articles regarding their expertise areas is the most effective way to recognize staff nurses for their expertise and passion. This approach allows nurses to share their knowledge with others in the field and adds to the body of nursing knowledge. It also provides opportunities for professional growth and development.
