For my first experience completing an Evidence-Based nursing research project, I have learned a lot. As compared to previous research based classes I have been in, having a specific nursing lens on has allowed me to see how gaining knowledge on a specific area of research is very valuable to have and to educate my future patients on. It has been very helpful learning how to better navigate sites such as EBSCO and also learn about nursing research specific websites to utilize. I have enjoyed learning how nurses can play a key role in the research environment and help further investigate ways to improve current practices for the benefit of both the nurse and patient. To a potential employer, I would like them to know that I am still a beginner in the EBP research field, however, I am looking forward to further defining my skills and improving in EBP II next semester. I see how greatly practices can always be updated and followed in order to maintain safety and maximize health. I also enjoyed working in a team setting as I believe that our combined interest in the topic made it enjoyable to complete as well as we completed our project with no conflict and supported each other throughout. During this project, I learned that in my role as a team member I wanted to maximize my effort for the benefit of the group. I wanted to ensure that my work was completed to the best of my ability since it wasn’t just myself relying on a grade for the portion of the work that I completed. I also appreciated how timely we completed our assignments, often having them submitted at least a day prior to the due date.
