I know a lot of good folks come to us from At Your Cervix. The author doesn't mince words when she discusses a recent conference.
You go, girl. Tell it, because no one else will. We can't just do it because we've always done it that way.
Yes, EBP is a big hairy deal in the nursing world. And dosed with a healthy helping of common sense, it's a very good thing.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...
Quote from one of our docs who's leaving to 1) go to greener pastures or 2) is having a late mid-life crisis.
When I asked him/her if Mr. Z. one of our patients who saw a specialist could get an order printed for his nursing home printed out, he said,
"Oh, I don't believe in using that stuff like Dr. S. I think it's hocus pocus, so I'm not going to write that order for the nursing home."
Said doc is patient's primary care provider at the Hotel, but I don't think he/she gets the EBP part.
Good riddance.
