EBP Paper

Recognizing that the registered nurse is a pivotal component in providing patient care in a dynamic and diverse health care arena, it is essential for the student to develop lifelong learning skills.

A critique of an article that you have obtained from a professional, peer- reviewed journal that relates to your patient (See How to Critique a Research Article located at the end of your syllabus.)
