Description

On episode 15 I have a conversation with Dr Andrew Finney host and creator of the Nurse Researcher Podcast about his journey into research. He also shares why he started his podcast and how the Critically Appraised Topics (CAT) groups are having impact.

Top 3 Takeaways

1) An environment (work or clinical) can be an enabler to a research career

2) Research creates allies

3) You are where you are because of who you are
