Hello, I'm an RN student, doing a paper over the differences in medicine versus nursing, as well as the differences in evidence based medicine versus evidence based practice. If someone knows any sources on comparisons or just good definitions of any of the four, that would be of great help to me. I need legitimate sources (.org, known nursing organizations, medical associations, things like that)
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure there is a difference between evidence based medicine and evidence based practice.
I've seen it used interchangebly, but it is differentiated some places. Once article I found says "Undoubtedly, the ultimate intention of EBM is to provide a theoretical background on which evidence-based practice (EBP) is founded. "
But I don't really understand the article because I need a foundation of the differences. And my nursing director chose the topics, so obviously she wants me to show the differences.

Thanks for the help. :icon_roll
If you didn't have time, why are you wasting your even replying? Makes a lot of sense. Good job.

Think about the origin of the diagnoses that Doctors and nurses have...that should give you a nice lead...but yeah, we aren't doing your work. Good luck though
I'm not asking for anyone to do my work. and I could make a whole paper about it from my head, I was wanting sources.
But anyone who doesn't want to help, please feel free to ignore the thread/not respond. Thanks.
Wouldn't using your library to do the research and find sources be part of your work?
She doesn't care about that.
Wow, surprising.....I've never heard of a Prof who was ok with their student being handed all the research for a paper and them just writing.
She isn't my professor and I wasn't asking permission. If you don't want to help, you're just wasting both of our time writing in this thread.
I have a perfect solution....stop replying and you won't be wasting any time.
All the best as you continue your education!
