There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Final EBP Reflection
Throughout the semester, we have been learning about evidenced based practice, and trying to start an initiate on our own. As a small team of students, my group searched existing literature to discover how culturally congruent images in patient education can lead to better adherence to treatment plans. While we did learn more about culturally …
Ethical Considerations for EBP
Before starting the assignments, I had a basic understanding of the nurses role for the contribution of ethical research but it was expanded on. The CITI trainings provided a lot of specific cases for conducting research in instances that my brain wouldn’t have thought of on my own, like research conducted in another country, or …
Assumptions
When I think about nurses engaging in generation of research evidence my first thought would be nurses helping with a drug trial administering meds or even just charting assessment data during their normal shift that is then looked at afterwards, maybe even weeks or months afterwards as part of a research project done by others. …

Thinking About The Journey
I think working in a med-surge floor will provide me with a great baseline of nursing skills and knowledge that can transfer to other areas of care as I progress in my career. Although I wouldn’t say that I’m fascinated with med-surge nursing I can understand it’s importance both to patients and to me as …
Reflection: Stigma and Mental Health
I think the stigma surrounding mental health revolves around how the illnesses present themselves.

This could easily lead …
