Powering Up Clinical Scholarship IN Evidence-Based Practice for Nurse Residents
This workshop provides nurse residents on using core clinical information resources, applying structured literature search techniques, and engaging with HSLIC services to support clinical scholarship and evidence-based decision-making within residency training.
Description
This Nurse Residency Evidence-Based Practice workshop introduces core concepts of clinical scholarship for nurse residents, emphasizing how to turn clinical questions into structured literature searches and use HSLIC resources to support scholarly projects. Topics include framing answerable clinical questions (e.g., PICOT), navigating key clinical information tools (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE, ClinicalKey, UpToDate), applying practical literature search techniques (Boolean operators, truncation, wildcards, proximity operators, subject headings), documenting basic search strategies, accessing full text (LibKey Nomad, proxy authentication, interlibrary loan and document delivery), and a brief introduction to critical appraisal tools and publishing supports available through HSLIC.
