LESS THAN 5 YEARS PEER REVIEWED

Week 5 Overview/Lecturette

This week we examine interdisciplinary/interprofessional relationships or partnerships, communication, collaboration, and the advanced practice nurse. A difficult shift for many students is utilizing evidenced-based practice (EBP), intraprofessional collaboration, and communication among interdisciplinary teams. In undergraduate education, there was a great deal of memorizing and testing. Graduate work shifts to reading, thinking, and writing. It is a change that takes time to grow in this new role. Give yourself the time to simply think! How can you improve healthcare outcomes? Can you use evidenced-based literature to do it? As you continue this journey, you are becoming better writers, leaders, communicators, and nurses!
