Showing knowledge of up-to-date health practices is simply not enough. A nurse must have an adequate ability to research and discover current trends and best practices in his or her specific clinical setting (QSEN Institute, 2014). So, while creating this clinical practice project, a proficient knowledge of how to research for evidence-based

I also believe that MacMurray’s nursing program has helped me achieve this outcome by encouraging me to look up recent journal articles for my school work and incorporate this information in the care that I provide to my patients. One project that helped me achieve this outcome was the research paper and poster that I completed for NURS 401. This assignment encouraged me to research a current topic, find evidenced-based information, and determine how the topic could be improved or incorporated into the hospital to improve patient

Demonstrate synthesis of the knowledge and skills acquired in preceding graduate nursing core and specialty curriculum content.

When the most precious thing of the parents, their children have a condition such as type 1 diabetes, life is changed and their first reaction is anger, denial and doubt, and ask each other why my son? It is very important that parents understand that their child's condition is manageable and with good habits it can be controlled. The availability of evidence-based practice is a tool we can use to demonstrate parents that what we have told them has scientific evidence and it has been proven that with a medical follow up, monitoring and proper diet their child can have a normal lifestyle and a good quality of life. Having in mind the recommendations and guidelines that are provided to the feelings of grief, anger, denial and frustration will

The practice experience in this class will provide me with a better understanding of the advanced practice nurses role in research and promoting evidenced-based practice (American Sentinel University, 2016). Areas of competency improved by this experience are foundations of nursing informatics, specifically wisdom with evidenced-based practice, nursing informatics practice, in particular, applying current research findings.

I have been working in community based services for three years now and one of the topics that I thought would be interesting to research would be the efficiency of evidence based practices within a community setting. I have myself been trained in several evidenced based practices which I have implemented with families. However, it has been a common experience among my colleges that many of these practices do not fit well within CBHI services. I would like to explore the issue and propose date to my field placement on how to better implement these evidenced based mental health practices within the community. I realized that this is a broad topic but I will work on refining this idea as I believe it will be valuable for my clients.

Coincidently, the standard educational background of these professionals is a Master of Science in Nursing. These programs are different from conventional master's programs in nursing because they also focus on visionary leadership, quality improvement and evidence-based practice. Thus, students will learn how to incorporate complex concepts and professional practices to create innovative nursing practices and systems. These programs also impart the skills needed to transform and enhance evidence-based care systems. The basic requirement to enter this program is an RN license and a Master’s of Science in

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) outlines fundamental essentials for the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) student to further develop and advance the nursing profession. DNP Essential III, Clinical Scholarship and Analytical Methods for Evidence-Based Practice, focuses on the importance of translating research into clinical practice (American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2006). Evidence-based practice is the hallmark goal of research studies and DNP graduates are in a position to assist in the generation of new knowledge and affect evidence-based practice (EBP) from the practice arena (Chism, 2013). In order for research to be translated into practice, the data collected, analyzed and interpreted needs to be the result of proper use and translation of the statistics utilized throughout studies.

My course of study at the University of Mary is the Master of Science in Nursing, Nurse Educator track. My level of experience in education is limited to the time I have spent educating patients within the various positions I have held since becoming a nurse. Pre- and post-op instructions, educating patients during their labor and delivery experience, as well as educating patients on medications, treatments and options in their care include some of the ways I've interacted with patients in providing education. I do not have any experience in the development or implementation of research of evidence-based projects (EBP) studies.

As a beginning point in the selection of an evidence-based program (EBP), it is crucial to distinguish the extent of the EBP. This process has four (4) elements: 1) intended population; 2) intervention target; 3) baseline severity level; and 4) intervention delivery characteristics (Durlak & DuPre, 2008).

When thinking about my ability to integrate evidence based practice, many memories in regard to nursing school come to mind. To begin, in my first few weeks of nursing school, it became clear to me at how much evidence based practice means to the nursing community. I always knew nursing was a changing field that would require me to adjust my surroundings. I did not realize until my first few weeks of nursing school that these adjustments had a term – and this term was evidence-based

The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) graduates function in the role of transferring the knowledge to practice. This article reports on the development of a DNP-level EBP course to help students evaluate and apply research findings to clinical practice. (Moore, E. R., & Watters, R., 2013). The DNP

For this week’s assignment, the task has been to read to two types of Evidence Based Practice Research articles: qualitative, quantitative or mixed. A qualitative article is one that via narrative data, investigates and describes a phenomena. While a quantitative article is one that collects and analyzes raw data via precise measurements. Articles were found in a professional organization’s journal that were qualitative and quantitative, Blais & Hayes (2016). Below you will read an overview of these 2 article and a comparative or these 2 type of research to include which this writer prefers.

I am striving to achieve professionalism and growth in roles and values while going through the bachelor’s degree in nursing program. I plan on taking each class one at a time, try to do my best, and gain the knowledge needed to grow in the nursing profession. By October 2010, I should obtain my bachelor’s degree in nursing, which will provide new opportunities, such as management, and educator positions. A bachelor’s degree in nursing will provide the opportunity to further my education to a master’s degree level.
