I am currently working at the Home of the Innocents and Clark Memorial Hospital. I have been a nurse for about three years, started working as an LPN and graduated from Galen College of Nursing with my ADN last September. I have seen a lot of evidence based practice in the long term care and at the hospital and examples are taking certain precautions before entering a room in which the person is infected with MRSA or infested with lice/bud bugs/scabies. Using two person identifiers before administing medications, which has reduced giving the patient the wrong medication. Turning the patient every two hours in order to reduce the possiblity of developing bed ulcers.

''You list some common practices that have become evidence based to prevent patient injury. Is there something you are particularly interested in exploring?''
