PG - 272-7 LID - 10.1016/j.profnurs.2010.02.004 [doi] AB - Evidence-based practice (EBP) has become increasingly important in nursing. It has become a dominant philosophy in teaching research courses and it brings a new definition to the translation of science. As more has become known about EBP, it has continued to grow in its importance and significance. EBP is the foundation to many doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programs in both the advanced practice nursing and organizational foci. The purpose of this article is to define evidence-based practice competencies for advanced practice nurses, especially nurse practitioners. A corresponding teaching framework is presented. Additionally, competencies related to the DNP with aggregate systems and organizational foci are suggested. Practical experiences emanating from working within the NP competency development and framework are highlighted and described. CI - Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
