Thank you. Pretty much the paper is done. It's 6 pages (I wanted to go on a little longer, but 6 pages was the max for the body) and I have 6 nursing references and 8 references from other health disciplines. I wish I could just actually talk to someone right now and explain myself. It was so hard to try to find the words to even open a new thread. But I thank you for trying to share some of your wisdom!

Hi dazy! Thank you for your reply. Everything is evidence based. I have a ton of articles which support what I am proposing. I guess what I am really asking is, is implementing a new program which is nurse lead and will lead to better patient outcomes, would this be considered a change in nursing practice? I thought I would pose this question tonight to see what everyone comes up with. I am going to meet with my instructor Tues. I think face to face it will be easier to explain my situation. Thanks for the help, though.

Hello everybody! This is my first post to allnurses.com! I searched old postings and could not find anything pertaining to what I would like to ask- I am doing a paper for one of my classes and it is is an area where we need to write if we would support change in nursing practice. I have a lot of evidence in my research topic area that supports some changes/ additions to nursing care dealing with my topic. I also want to propose a hospital program which would be, of course, nurse led. Okay, here's the actual question: Would it be appropriate to include the implementation of a program as a change in nursing practice, per se? I am sorry to be so generic. I guess what the question is, is what constitutes a change in nursing practice? Thank you, in advance for any help you might provide in this matter. BTW, I also want to say that I have been reading allnurses for so long and I am truly saddened at the loss of Daytonite. She was so caring, and you could tell by all she put into her posts.
