Learning Objective 1: The learner will be able to recreate the collaborative processes between hospital administration and nursing faculty to build evidence-based practice from the bedside.
Learning Objective 2: The learner will be able to identify integration of nursing practice, education, and research that supports professional nurse leaders toward Magnet Recognition.
Nursing administrators and nursing faculty are connected but may not be collaborating toward a common goal. Nurses at all levels working in a variety of areas began to form a Nursing Research Council at the hospital with expert nurse researchers from local universities. Over the next two years all stakeholders worked toward Magnet Status. One program was designed and titled “Go Green for Research Day” to help the staff nurses embrace evidence-based practice from the bedside. The program led to translational leadership where staff nurses became involved in generating ideas to meet future nursing care needs. As a result nurses are empowered using evidence-based practice to provide ongoing quality improvement at the first magnet hospital in Arkansas.
