| Abstract: | Nurses deliver a point-of-care service to patients. The nursing staff work extensive schedules and do not have time to research a clinical question to help support patient care. This article describes the implementation of the first research service that supports evidence-based practice at Georgia’s second largest hospital. Inspired by a similar service at a children’s hospital in 2014, the first year of nurse research rounds provides clinicians a new research service in their clinical setting. |
