skills that have evidence to support their safety and effectiveness, patient outcomes improve, and evidence-based practice (EBP) is achieved. With the crucial role that nurses play in helping others regain their health, the way they provide care cannot be based on personal judgment alone. That being said, healthcare systems look to research findings from experimental studies
Class, This is how I grasp the concept of statistics from our lecture lesson, statistics results from studies that can be validated by the use of numbers; once it is factual then it is shared with people. This is then implemented in nursing practice as evidence- based (CCN, 2015). In our text Houser, (2015) claimed that back in the days, researchers relied on the use of two different groups to objectively prove importance. To prove their point standard error was used in the test to conclude if any
such as providing nursing care, support, and health education to the patients and families. Evidence has a major constitution in the delivery of advanced and safe healthcare (Mitchell, 2013). Globally, the body of nursing knowledge acknowledged the incorporation of evidence into nursing practice, which improve healthcare outcomes, promote high quality care, increase personal productivity and decrease healthcare costs (Hall, 2006). Raycroft-Malone (2004) stated that evidence in practice is a complex concept
Evidence Based Decision-Making Supports Quality Safe Care In 1996, Sacket, Rosenberg, Gray, and Richardson identified the increasing emphasis on evidence based practice, stating that nurses must be prudent and diligent when making decisions for nursing care by using only the most up to date and accurate information to base their clinical decisions upon. More recently, decision making models have been brought to the forefront as excellent tools nursing students and novice nurses can use when transferring
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree program is designed to prepare nurse leaders to adapt, commit and respond to the globally changing health care system. In the completion of the program, nurse leaders are expected to be alble to integrate knowledge, theories, and concepts from the biophysical, psychosocial, analytical, and organization sciences to develop ethical health care systems and new frontiers for nursing practice that addresses health care disparities.

three professional nursing affiliations. The three professional affiliations that I selected for review are Oncology Nursing Society, Academy of Neonatal Nursing, and Emergency Nurses Association. The following aspects of the professional nursing affiliations are tackled in the article: 1) the description and the scope of the affiliations; 2) the mission and value of the affiliations; 3) the journal or email newsletter the organizations utilize. All three selection was made based on personal interest
The Connecticut Nurse Practice Act defines advance nursing practice as the " performance of advanced level nursing practice activists that, by virtue of post basic specialized education and experience, are appropriate to and may be performed by an APRN". This act describes the role of an APRN as one that "performs acts of diagnosis and treatment of alternations in health status" including collaborating under a physician to prescribe, dispense, and administer therapeutic and corrective medical interventions
Scope of Practice Initial Response The Texas Board of Nursing (BON) Rule 217.11 Standards of Nursing Practice defines the proficient level of care throughout the nursing process (Texas Board of Nurses [BON], 2007). These professional standards provide guidance to sustain competent nursing practice (BON, 2007). Standards are set to enable nurses to reflect on their current nursing practice and assess areas that may need modifications in order to achieve a higher level of performance (Milton, 2008)
Future Trends in Nursing Practice Nursing practice experiences constant and rapid evolution due to the implementation of new coming trends related to the demographic changes, nursing research, and technology. Being the closest to patients’ caregivers, nurses are considered as major contributors to healthcare organizations. Nurses are obliged to have an evidence-based understanding of the significant influence that can be made through health promotion interventions and deliver this understanding to
available to nursing supervisors to aid in resolution of ethical issues or dilemmas regarding this scenario. My role as a supervisor, I would have asked the physician questions regarding the order and his reasoning pertaining to the restraints. Evidence based practice does not support the use of restraints on a patient that is able to respond appropriately and able to reposition themselves in bed. Education to staff members should be supported by evidence based practice. Myself as the nursing supervisor
