Reflection and discussion

Mitchell (2013) suggests that evidence based practice is not the responsibility of the individual nurse, but should be resituated as an organizational responsibility and that nurses should direct our focus to values-based nursing practice or humanities-based nursing.
Karnick (2013, 2016) challenges us to recall our nursing roots and not reply only on evidencebased practice to care for patients and to celebrate nursing theory in order to legitimize nursing as a profession.
