In this article, we describe the development of a BScN (Honors) Program in a large Canadian university. We describe the elements of the program, including the application of a research apprenticeship model as the core of the program. We provide examples of student learning experiences culminating in the Honors project. Recruitment, balancing clinical and research interests, financial support, and manageability of the Honors project emerged as key challenges in our first offerings of the program. Overall, students perceived that experiential research learning enhanced their research skills, increased appreciation of the process and outcomes of nursing research, and inspired confidence to pursue graduate education. We conclude that an apprenticeship model providing students with experiential research learning with established faculty researchers is an effective and efficient way to deliver the Honors Program in the context of a research-intensive nursing faculty.
本文描述了在加拿大一所大型大学中 BScN（荣誉）项目的发展。我们描述了该项目的各个要素，包括将研究学徒模式作为项目核心的应用。我们提供了学生学习经验的实例，这些经验最终以荣誉项目为顶点。在该项目的首次实施中，招募、平衡临床和研究兴趣、财务支持以及荣誉项目的可管理性成为了关键挑战。总体而言，学生们认为体验式研究学习提高了他们的研究技能，增加了对护理研究过程和结果的欣赏，并激发了他们追求研究生教育的信心。我们得出结论，为学生提供与资深研究人员一起进行体验式研究学习的学徒模式是在研究密集型护理教师背景下有效且高效地实施荣誉项目的一种方式。
