Discuss if your nursing unit uses one of the models mentioned in this chapter for guiding evidence-based nursing practic: Stetler and/or the Iowa Model. Discuss barriers to practice you encounter at your place of work, e.g., Is it organizational, lack of nurse educators and managers to promote evidence-based practice, and/or just general bias on the part of staff towards the idea of evidence-based nursing practice. If you belong to a union, e.g., SEIU and/or CA Nurses Assoc., does the union promote evidence-based nursing practice?
