Margaret B. Harrison, RN, PhD and Marianne Lamb, RN, PhD. School of Nursing, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada
The skills for evidence-based practice in nursing and role of reflection will be the focus in terms of integrating and reinforcing these concepts in nursing curricula. Presenters will focus on how educators can develop skills for evidence-based and reflective practice by integrating and reinforcing these concepts throughout nursing curricula. We will present a curricular framework as well as address issues related to the role and nature of evidence in the curriculum and indicators to aid formative evaluation. Finally, we will provide tips on the ‘ways and means’ to get evidence into the practice of students.
