title: [EBP/EBN, nursing education and update].
abstract: Evidence-based practice (EBM) has changed clinical practice because improved critical thinking, empowered the professionals public and allowed for the generalization of research findings to large populations. However, one of the central problems with EBM is when it is considered the only way to update knowledge and it is used as a cookbook approach and independent thought is sacrificed in the process.
