Novice to Expert: The Nurse’s Role in Research and Evidence-based Practice
Svetlana Alpin, Fantasia Batchelor, Evelin Andujar, Holly Booker
NUR 4165
Broward College
ASL Objectives:
6.1 Outline the Fundamental Principals of Evidence-Based Practice
6.2 Describe the Relationship between Research and Evidence-Based Practice
Novice to Expert: The Nurse’s Role in Research and Evidence-based Practice
Nursing is a field of practice with processes, policies, and procedures that are constantly evolving. Such changes do not come about by mere chance but rather on the shoulders of the many nurse researchers who lend a hand in nursing research and the fruition of such research is implemented as evidence-based practice (EBP). Throughout this reflection the terms nursing research and evidence-based practice will be utilized quite often, what do these terms really denote? Polit and Beck (2018) explain nursing research as an inquiry that is designed to retrieve trustworthy evidence about issues relevant to nurses and their clients. Evidence-based practice is identified as using the best evidence to guide patient care decisions and such evidence is typically generated from nurses and other health care professionals who engage in research (Polit and Beck, 2018).
Relevant and Meaningful Service within the Community
Knowing how important research is to the continued quality improvement within our field our group set out on a mission to educate fellow nurses about the need to engage in such research and aid in the implementation of evidence-based practice. The opportunity presented itself on April 16th, 2019 at the Hallandale Outpatient Surgical Center (HOSC). Our primary goal was to educate the nurses of the HOSC about the need to involve themselves in nursing research and evidence-based practices and to seek out opportunities around their workplace where extra research may lead to quality improvement.
Enhanced Academic Learning
Our ASL group utilized objectives: 6.1 Outline the fundamental principles of evidence-based practice, and 6.2 Describe the relationship between research knowledge and evidence-based practice. The theory that served as the backbone to our presentation was Patricia Benner’s theory of Novice to Expert. Nursing theorist Patricia Benner adapted the Dreyfus theory to nursing clinical practice and utilized the same five stages novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert to evaluate the progression of a nurse (Fishman, 2018). As nurses obtain the necessary experience from years on the job they become assets in the recognition of areas within the field that has room for change or improvement and may even be able to offer well-established solutions if they are able to involve themselves in nursing research. Using objective 6.1 we analyzed a few key principles to evidence-based practice some of which include identifying the best research evidence, listening to p.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

TIME-SAVING TIPS
Do a self-assessment; build on what you already
know, rather than starting from the beginning.
Use the subject areas to organize your study
plan.
Start with the subject areas with the
highest % of questions or
areas that are least familiar.

STUDY TIPS
Recommended study time prior to exam: 3 months.
Turn off text messages,TV, and e-mail while you study.
Break content and time into bite-size chunks.
Review, review, review.
Be able to apply broad concepts versus memorizing facts
and figures.
Practice by taking multiple choice-style exams.
