The lesson for Week 8 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?
Scholarly references to support your response are required.
