During NUR700 I learned that in order to probably synthesize qualitative nursing research articles, one must examine the articles, and analyze the findings by breaking down the research. Primary care providers, nurses and ancillary healthcare team members, integrates clinical scholarship and analytical methods for evidence-based practice (EBP) by increasing knowledge, synthesizing quantitative/qualitative research and continuing education.

Your research question is one most nurses have questioned at some point in their career. I have felt the feeling of annoyance and dread when starting my shift and realizing that my elderly patient has an IV that was placed 4 days ago, and per policy it must be changed today. Sticking the patient again for a new IV seems cruel when the old is still functioning correctly. Many times, I have questioned if the benefits really outweigh the risks of starting a new IV simply because the old is expired.

The two Evidence Based Practice models that I decided to compare are the Johns Hopkins Nursing model and the ACE Star model. The Johns Hopkins Nursing model “helps bedside nurses translate evidence to clinical, administrative, and educational nursing practice” ( p. 302). The Johns Hopkins Nursing model focuses on nursing and nursing practice. The model helps nurses translate evidence-based practice into practice and enhances nursing autonomy, leadership, and engagement with interdisciplinary colleagues (). While on the other hand the ACE Star model focuses taking several forms of knowledge and turning it into evidence-based practice.

The term Evidenced-based practice (EBP) is one of the most talked about concepts in healthcare. Nursing scholars, worldwide, have sought to provide healthcare workers with the evidence from research to be transform this into clinical care. To ease this transference of data into practice, scholars have developed EBP models. These models direct the researcher with the process from hypothesis to implementation of the data. The perplexity of EBP is that the data can come from research, clinical experience, patients, or local context and environment (Rycroft-Malone, et al., 2012).

The decision to become a nurse was not a life-long calling for me. I did not know from a young age that when I grew up I wanted to be a nurse. It took years of life experiences and well-timed events that propelled me to this point. While reflecting on the media file “One is too many” (CNO, College of Nurses of Ontario, 2005) I had the opportunity to reflect on the reason I chose to be a nurse while observing the behaviors of the character portrayed and was brought back to a personal experience I had when visiting hospitals as a patient.

This included but was not limited to the proper placement of a Foley catheter using sterile techniques, insertion of an NG tube, and assessment of patients.

Evolution from Novice to a Beginning Professional Nurse Looking back when I started my nursing school, I can proudly say that I have evolved both physically and psychologically. I was not sure if nursing was the right choice for me at first because I had difficulties interacting with people outside my family circle. The first semester was challenging for me because I did not know how to interact with my class mates and felt isolated each time there is a class activity. I joined a study group later that semester and it has been an excitement ever since.
