Evidenced-Based Practice

Catalog description

Baccalaureate prepared nurses must incorporate team-based, evidenced-based care derived from the best available scientific evidence to inform clinical judgements. Nurses need to understand the research process to gain competency to critically read, evaluate, and apply research findings into practice. By understanding the research process, students can formulate clinical questions and appraise the literature to advance quality care and healthcare improvement. In this course, students are introduced to qualitative, quantitative approaches, research design, and data collection methods.
