I brought our project to our floor at Maine Medical Center. I spoke with the charge nurse on R2 and explained that we had done a dissemination project about preventing CLABSI infections and that our project was for our evidenced based practice class at UNE. She said our project looked amazing and took the copies to put up in a few spots where the nurses could see them. She said that the infographics would catch people’s attention and nurses would love to read it. Nurses on that floor are always so supportive and happy to learn new things so they were excited to see new posters. CLABSI prevention is something that is talked about so frequently in hospitals that anyone would be interested to know some statistics about them and the best ways to prevent the infections.
I loved working with my team because we always supported each other at clinical and always made the best out of our time together. We made sure that all of our work was done successfully for this class and helped each other whenever we needed. I would want future employers to know that we took the time to educate ourselves about successful evidence based practice initiatives for quality improvement and we are ready to enter the nursing world. We are ready to recognize when change could occur and help implement change for the good whenever possible. Medicine is always changing and no one is too small to voice their opinions if change needs to happen. The thing that this team helped me out with a lot was making sure to get work done early. I get stuck in passing things in right on time but my group really worked on getting our projects and stuff done well before the due date so that we could take the time to double check that we did it to the best of our ability and are ready to pass it in.
After working on this project and completing both EBP I and EBP III, I feel confident in my abilities to research healthcare topics and figuring out places in which change needs to occur and doing my research successfully. I know where to look for peer reviewed evidence based practice journal articles that are reliable, within the past five years, and have pertinent information to the topic that I am researching. I learned a lot about pulling multiple sources together and coming out with one research project from all the scattered information.
