Hello,

I have to write a paper on Evidence Based Nursing Practice. Where can I find info on, "what it is, why do it, how is it done, who uses it, pros/cons of using it"

Thanks much

The nursing literature is FULL of articles and books on evidence-based practice. use your school's library and do a search. You can simply use the search term "evidence-based practice" and you will be directed towards lots of good articles.

ditto on using your school's library search. When I did all my papers this past semester, I dug through CINAHL, Cochrane Collection and the National Guideline Clearinghouse (http://www.guideline.gov/). Your library should have these resources for you to use, if not that then hard copies of the journals you need. Your school might even have ILL (interlibrary loan...I would get pdf's of articles that other schools had).
