Summary
Librarians are increasingly teaching continuing education in healthcare settings. However, a small number of librarians specifically collaborate with nursing organizations to deliver evidence-based practice (EBP) training.
Area of Science:
- Medical Librarianship
- Nursing Education
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
Background:
- Continuing education is crucial for healthcare professionals to stay updated.
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) integration requires ongoing training and support.
- The role of librarians in facilitating EBP knowledge transfer is evolving.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate librarian involvement in teaching continuing education related to EBP.
- To determine the extent of collaboration between librarians and nursing organizations for EBP training.
Main Methods:
- A survey was distributed to 1,845 members of the Medical Library Association.
- The survey comprised 15 questions focusing on collaborative teaching experiences.
- 201 members completed the survey, providing data on their involvement in continuing education.
Main Results:
- 37 respondents reported experience teaching continuing education with healthcare organizations.
- 8 respondents specifically indicated collaboration with nursing organizations for EBP continuing education.
- This highlights a nascent but present collaboration in EBP training.
Conclusions:
- Librarians are actively engaged in delivering continuing education within healthcare.
- Collaboration between librarians and nursing organizations for EBP training is occurring but limited.
- Further efforts may be needed to expand librarian-led EBP continuing education initiatives for nurses.

02:55The Evidence for Evolution
48.3K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

10.7K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

01:22The Professional Nurse
6.6K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

All living things are formed mostly of carbon compounds called organic compounds. The category of organic compounds includes both natural and synthetic compounds that contain carbon. Although a single, precise definition has yet to be identified by the chemistry community, most agree that a defining trait of organic molecules is the presence of carbon as the principal element, bonded to hydrogen and other carbon atoms. However, some carbon-containing compounds such as carbonates, cyanides, and...

01:16Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
870
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...
