Abstract
School nurses should be engaging in evidence-based practice (EBP) in their health room settings as supported by the initiatives of the Institute of Medicine. EBP is a set of skills that health professionals can use in order to ensure high quality and current clinical care is provided. School nurses are faced with a diverse and complex population of children and often work in isolation from nursing peers, which can lead to limited professional peer discussions about recent changes or outdated clinical practices. EBP combines the use of evidence from the literature, expert guidelines, clinician expertise and client preferences in order to provide optimum care. This article leads the school nurse through the process and use of EBP in the school setting.
