Using Evidence Based Nursing in Practice: Other EBN Guides

Interested in learning more about EBN?  This guide is linked reciprocally with two other evidence based nursing guides that you may find useful.  You can access them from the links below, or through the links on the Other EBN Guides tab at the top of any of the three EBN guides.

A number of journals have published series of articles to help practitioners with Evidence Based Nursing or Evidence Based Practice. Here are a few of them (some of these articles are also cited in earlier pages of this guide).
