Approaches to gathering evidence for educational practices in nursing.

There are many initiatives under way to teach nursing staff about evidence-based practice, but how many educators seek evidence as a basis for their teaching?

This article provides a perspective of how nurse educators can develop an evidence-based approach to their teaching using the research that is available in nursing education.
