Background: Finding the right method to influence student engagement with research can provide a unique opportunity to positively affect students' perceptions of nursing research. Therefore, the purpose of this educational program was to implement an experiential learning opportunity for junior-year nursing students.

Results: Students who were enrolled in the course were divided into five groups. Each student reviewed and collected data from 18 charts. Data collection and entry occurred concurrently.

Conclusion: Students acknowledged they learned about the research process and enjoyed the experience. This program enhanced students' experiences with research. .
