NUR-590 Evidence-Based Practice Project Course Description
This course provides an opportunity for learners to complete their evidence-based practice (EBP) project proposal that addresses a problem, issue, or concern in their specialty area of professional practice.
Learners previously identified a problem amenable to a research-based intervention, searched the literature, and proposed a solution.
Now learners will explore implementation considerations and various evaluation methodologies, complete the project proposal by developing a plan to implement the solution into the intended practice area, and design an evaluation plan that will assess the EBP project proposal’s intended outcome(s). Prerequisite: NUR-550.
