EBP is not only about research utilisation but also involves an integration of research evidence, scientific theories, clinical circumstances and setting, available resources, expertise clinical judgement, and patient preference (Satterfield et al., 2009). It

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

Evidenced-based practice (EBP) originated in Canada from a new form of medical school which was launched during the 1970s at an institution called McMaster University (Hoffmann, Bennett, & Del Mar, 2010). This new medical program was uncommon in a variety of its methods. The primary variation was the abbreviated three year medical program which is very brief in comparison to other medical school framework (Hoffmann, Bennett, & Del Mar, 2010). Instructors conceded that the ideal concept of teaching medical students everything they would possibly need to know in regards to practicing medicine with in this program was an unattainable undertaking (Hoffmann, Bennett, & Del Mar, 2010). In response to this epiphany, instructors at this institution transformed their educational approach and focused on instruction that would provide students with the skills and tools they would need to effectively locate health information while practicing as healthcare professionals (Hoffmann, Bennett, & Del Mar, 2010). This scientific approach to healthcare is now known as evidence-based practice (Hoffmann, Bennett, & Del Mar, 2010). In the past, healthcare practitioners made decisions for patients based on personal and professional experience, hearsay, and lack of scientific evidence (White, 2004). An evidence-based practice links the

Finally, my experience supervising junior practicum students and developing a training manual at my previous site has motivated me to continue

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.

In earlier times, the nursing profession was largely involved in research utilization, a process of putting research findings into practice (Schmidt and Brown, 2014). Research utilization comprised of using the results of a single research study and applying it to practice (Schmidt and Brown, 2014). However, large amount of questions were unanswered by a single study and clinical trials cannot always be used for human conditions (Schmidt and

The facility my change project has potential impact upon is a teaching hospital which is known for promoting, supporting, and encouraging clinical research and implementing latest evidence-based practice. Erlanger serves as the region's only academic teaching hospital and strives to employ healthcare professionals who are knowledgeable in the latest skill, technique, and evidence based practice (EBP) (Erlanger Health System, 2017). This serves as both a strength and opportunity for the facility. A major strength for the hospital is the support that is has for research and implementation of all change processes. In 2013 the Institute for Clinical Research (EICR), was developed to solidify unity of two objectives, providing patients’ access

I had talked to my site supervisor about the opportunity to spend some time with Emmit, who is head of the RICC (Rapid Intervention Community Court) Program. She thought this would be a great experience, so she reached out to Emmit, and he gladly accepted. Once I arrived at the court house, I spent from about 8:30am till 10:00am or later with Emmit.

Language is a primary mean of communication that has contributed to society for millions of years. Language can tell a story about people’s culture. Language can produce a series of emotions and meanings. Language can be spoken distinctively through changes in spelling, speed, tones, and pitches. Language creates an atmosphere of togetherness, mystery, and security to outsiders. In my life, Ebonics had revealed an unique aspect of how my parents and distant relatives influenced my understanding of the Afrocentric dialect of the English language. In addition, it revealed how I communicate to my family and friends and the distinction of my reading between Ebonics and Old English during my high school years.

Clinical Research Internship Study Program (CRISP) at the Mayo Clinic Florida strengthened my idea that research is an integral part of clinical medicine. After the CRISP, I decided a MD/Ph.D. suits my future goals better than an MD or Ph.D. because it will better equip me with essential tools, such as the ability to practice and develop medicine, needed to provide the best patient care possible.

Lastly, my accomplishments include completing 95 credits within a two-year time span, which I will conclude at the end of this spring semester. Additionally, I have became a member of the Sigma Alpha Phi honor/leadership society, the Golden Key Honor Society, and have recently concluded being an Alternative Spring Break 2016 Co-Leader, where we arranged a trip to build an urban garden at an elementary school in Denver.

Due to leadership roles I have been elected into, I have been able to pay forward all of the assistance I was given from everyone on the campus to any student who

Everyone has their own characteristics that set them apart. The way they act, think, and feel gives them their own individual personality. But what if you could learn exactly what type of person you are? That is what intrigued me when I heard about the Enneagram system. I have taken personality quizzes before, but none were as accurate as the Enneagram. By taking this quiz, I learned more about myself than I realized I knew. The largest components of this questionnaire are the center, wings, and arrows. One’s personality is more complex than it seems. Even though I am classified to a particular group, I blend into other types similar to mine. Along with the Enneagram questionnaire, I completed a Learning Styles survey. This survey also
