Networking with individuals on a similar journey through graduate studies has been identified as an important influence in the experience of doctoral and postdoctoral students. Through the Board of Directors of the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology/Association canadienne des infirmières en oncologie (CANO/ACIO), student members were encouraged to establish a Doctoral Student Network (DSN) that would enable a connection through education and common interest in oncology and cancer care. Since its inception, the DSN has been dynamic in how it has addressed the evolving needs of members and in providing development opportunities to group members. To uncover and describe key aspects of its evolution, a document analysis was undertaken to reveal themes pertaining to capacity development and leadership voice as paths to leadership for DSN members. The results of this study suggest that the DSN provides a supportive environment for postgraduate nurses across Canada to connect with others in their peer group to foster engagement in educational, professional, and scholarly activities, as well as highlighting opportunities for other professional organizations interested in establishing a support network for graduate student members.
与处于研究生学习相似阶段的人建立联系，已被视为对博士研究生和博士后学生的经历产生重要影响的因素。通过加拿大肿瘤护理协会/加拿大肿瘤护理协会（CANO/ACIO）董事会，鼓励学生成员建立一个博士生网络（DSN），该网络将通过肿瘤学和癌症护理方面的教育及共同兴趣实现联系。自成立以来，DSN在满足成员不断变化的需求以及为小组成员提供发展机会方面一直充满活力。为了揭示和描述其发展的关键方面，进行了一项文献分析，以揭示与能力发展和领导声音相关的主题，这些主题是DSN成员通往领导地位的途径。这项研究的结果表明，DSN为加拿大各地的研究生护士提供了一个支持性环境，使他们能够与同龄人中的其他人建立联系，以促进参与教育、专业和学术活动，同时也为有兴趣为研究生成员建立支持网络的其他专业组织提供了机会。
