title: Evidence-based practice readiness of ASORN members.
abstract: Due to the importance of evidence-based practice and its impact on patient outcomes, a research study was conducted in early 2013 soliciting participation of ASORN members. Findings indicate the collegiality and curiosity of nurses, who identify a gap in practice due to lack of knowledge/skills and organizational barriers. Since nurses value EBP and research, as noted in study findings and ASORN Board of Directors support, efforts to advance the art and science of ophthalmic nursing will continue in the future.
