| Thinking Nursing: Connecting Student Learning for Evidence-Based Practice | |||
| Learning Objective #1: The learner will be able to explain the efficacy of a nursing education model to support evidence-based nursing practice. | |||
| Learning Objective #2: The learner will be able to describe how the patterns of knowing promote reflective practice linking students’ thinking and doing within the context of practice | |||
| This symposium presents an innovative education model that connects student learning to thinking nursing within the context of evidence-based practice. The symposium addresses how nurse educators can create connections between what students learn and how they will practice nursing. Creating these connections is accomplished by using different forms of inquiry to develop an inclusive understanding of evidence-based practice. The structure of the education model is discussed through Carper’s (1978) “Fundamental Patterns of Knowing in Nursing”. The symposium provides an opportunity for nurse educators to discuss and exchange ideas about how to integrate the use evidence as students learn to think in practice. A research case study is presented that provides an evaluation of the education model. Stories describing new student learning experiences of thinking nursing within the context of evidence-based practice are shared. Finally, a reflective analysis illustrates how the education model informs both practice and education across experience and expertise. Carper, B. (1978). Fundamental patterns of knowing in nursing.
