Implementing evidence-based nursing with student nurses and clinicians: Uniting the strengths☆
Received 12 May 2008; accepted 23 June 2008.
Abstract
Implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) is challenging for both clinicians and students. Facilitating collaboration among students and clinicians can improve the process of both teaching EBP in the academic setting and utilizing EBP in the clinical setting. A unique and successful EBP program is described, and other schools are encouraged to emulate this model.
