NURS 503: Evidence-Based Practice and Research

Program
Credits 3.0

This course introduces the student to advanced principles and processes of evidence-based practice (EBP) for analyzing research and other forms of evidence. Evidence-based nursing models are reviewed and students are equipped to ask and develop practice-related questions. Computerized literature searches form the basis for finding, critically appraising, selecting, and synthesizing the best available evidence for implementation, evaluation, and translation into advanced practice nursing and nursing education. This foundational course provides students with skills necessary to propose an EBP implementation project with a plan for evaluating project outcomes.
