In order to write an article for a Dutch paeditric nursing magazine I would like to know about research experiences of nurses doing research. I plan to interview some nurses about their experiences but I would like to know if there are any publications in magazines or on the web which deal with the real experiences of nurses. I am a nurse and sociologist and write together with an other nurse. We want to write about quantitative research. I am looking for accounts of experiences with the PRACTICE of doing research; planning, informing staff members, getting cooperation, asking consent, gathering material, maintaining cooperation. I hope for suggestions where to find accounts. What would also be helpfull is accounts of participants of this forum. Thank you, Eric Vermeulen
