WK 4 BLOG THEO

 BLOG: OBSERVATION OF EBP 

As a DNP-prepared nurse, you will have a significant voice in your healthcare setting to advocate for evidence-based practice (EBP). Understanding how evidence can inform better nursing care and improve patient outcomes is fundamental to successful advocacy.

Blogs help facilitate a meaningful and more informal classroom environment—one that fosters dialogue, interaction, and the dissemination of ideas in a functional platform (Kuo et al., 2017). Blogs also promote community building and a collaborative learning approach through the sharing of ideas. Although this blog may function somewhat like a Discussion, its aim is to be more open ended and informal in terms of sharing perspectives, thoughts, and experiences on a given prompt.

For this Blog entry, you will observe a healthcare organization with which you work currently (or if that is not possible, an organization with which you worked previously) to identify examples of EBP, as well as examples for which EBP is needed.
