Yes, indeed this class has really change my thinking about nursing research and evidence based practice as a result of this course, I learn a lot about nursing research which are how to search for research article which are from reliable sources, quantitative and qualitative research design, what a critical thinker would look for in the evidence before deciding to change, differences and the important of inferential and descriptive statistics, the important and implication of using convenient sample, reliability and validity of a research. I will make sure I apply evidence based practice in every aspect of my nursing practice, Implementation of Evidence Based Practice places additional demands on nurses to apply credible evidence to individual

client situations through searching related evidence, using clinical judgments, and considering client values and system resources and To effectively apply the EBP process, in addition to the basic skills required to undertake nursing work, a nurse must have the ability to identify knowledge gaps, formulate relevant questions, conduct an efficient literature search, apply rules of evidence to determine the validity of studies, apply the literature findings appropriately to the patient's problem, and appropriately involve the patient in the clinical decision making ("Adopting evidence-based practice in clinical decision making: nurses' perceptions, knowledge, and barriers," n.d.).
