Abstract
Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) can provide a range of opportunities for nurses working in primary care settings. This article reports on the early experiences of the Midwest Nursing Centers Consortium Research Network (MNCCRN), one of only two nursing PBRNs in the nation. Findings from the MNCCRN's first research study, Wellness for a Lifetime, indicate success with implementing research across geographically distant sites, and positive client outcomes related to improving nutrition and physical activity. Lessons learned in establishing a PBRN and implementing research studies in the real world are described as well as challenges for the future.
