Assignment
Asks you to objectively reflect on your current use of evidence-based practice. Throughout this course you have worked hard and created a template for an EBP project proposal. Rather than look to the past, this discussion asks you to look to the future-your future as an MSN-prepared advanced practice nurse!
You are a nurse leader in your future advanced practice track-based setting. You notice that although nurses say they use evidence-based practice (EBP), you find very few examples of this. As the leader, you decide to develop an environment that fosters EBP. Please respond to each of the following topics.
• How would you role model EBP in your future advanced practice setting? Be specific!
• How would you foster an organizational culture that promotes EBP? How would you promote EBP throughout the entire organization?
• You have one staff member who constantly says, "We have never done it this way-why change?" What actions would you take to change him or her from a distracter to a promoter of EBP?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
