Evidence Based Practice Theory
Abstract
This paper explains the value and purpose of Practice, Research and Theory in nursing. How has this practice benefitted nursing up to this point, and what gains/losses does it have. As we research the great theorist from the past, getting a glimpse at what nursing once was and how it affected the patients, families and staff as a whole, we learned that in the late 1800, early 1900 when Florence Nightingale led women on the battlefield tending to wounded soldiers. Learning as they go, realizing what works and what doesn’t during the cares they provided. This was nursing in the raw. This is what we call evidence based practice. If all institutions and facilities incorporated theory and research in their practice, the healthcare industry
