Evidence Based Practice Evidence Based Practice, or EBP, is defined as: nursing practice that bases clinical decisions on research, clinical expertise, patient choices, and critical evaluation of the literature. One of our goals at Preston Medical Library is to provide access to EBP information resources to help integrate it into nursing practice. As the hospital proceeds toward Magnet status, it becomes more important to integrate EBP into patient care.

Certification Manuals The library now houses and circulates certification manuals for Nursing. These include: ACLS BLS CCRN (both Adult & Pediatric/Neonatal CVN Medical-Surgical Nursing Obstetrics
