ABSTRACT
Recent surveys of Magnet facilities and nurses found low rates of implementation of evidence-based practice in U.S. health care settings. Nursing Experts: Translating the Evidence (NExT) is a collaboration of nurses and librarians providing free online evidence-based practice nursing education benefiting nurses in all settings. The NExT online modules empowered participants to efficiently access valuable resources to inform and improve their practice in a convenient, accessible, self-paced format. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods and the value of collaboration are discussed. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2023;54(4):176-184.].

Continual assessment of evidence-based culture is essential to inform growth in evidence-based practice (EBP). The RN Confidence in Evidence-Based Practice (RNcEBP) Survey was developed and tested over a 4-year period within a Magnet-designated organization. The primary aim of this institutional review board-approved study was to test reliability and validity of the workplace-focused RNcEBP Survey. The second aim of the electronic survey was to provide practical and concise assessment data to inform nursing professional development and support for EBP.
