How did the readings influence your perception of your own clinical decision-making?
For me the readings brought me one step closer to basing my own clinical practice on EBP. I have been supportive of this action, especially when I have seen older nurses who do not follow protocols or bother to promote a change in practice, even for patient safety. As I have become more educated, I see the that this method of practice does promote the best quality for our patients. It's sort of like "our leg to stand on". The standard of "well that's what we always do" is outdated and archaic, we need to be fluid and change our practice to where evidence points us. The readings helped me to realize that I must keep my education up-to-date to move with change and practice currently based upon the best evidence.
