Objective: to reflect on the challenges of nursing research and pragmatic strategies to enhance its potential. Content: a theoretical-reflective essay based on literature related to the topic, the experiences, and the insights of the authors in their individual and collective processes of knowledge construction in the field of nursing. The main challenges identified were maintaining a narrow and limited research profile, lack of funding, deficiencies in undergraduate training, the need for new research leadership, and difficulties in disseminating study results. As key pragmatic strategies, the following are highlighted: promoting greater visibility of nursing science to ensure its inclusion in technical-scientific agendas and funding opportunities, bridging the gap between clinical nurses and research, strengthening nurse training as researchers, and expanding the dissemination and use of research findings. Final considerations: the strengthening and the advancement of nursing research require overcoming the challenges faced by the field to increase the visibility of their self- knowledge.
