Nurse Residency Evidence-Based Practice Curriculum

We are proud to share this new approach to teaching EBP in Nurse Residency. We believe this curriculum will simplify your EBP journey and set up educators, nurses, and leadership for success. 


This curriculum is designed to:

  1. Spark curiosity in our nurse residents regarding the EBP process
  2. Review basic information about the three forms of inquiry-- EBP, Quality Improvement (QI), and Research
  3. Help residents identify resources and tools to determine best practices both within the literature and their organization

Why did we develop this curriculum?

Through our experience, we have learned that “EBP initiatives” or “mini-EBPs” do not allow educators to effectively verify EBP skill acquisition. Additionally, they do not represent the true state of the evidence because residents are limited by time and knowledge to perform an adequate literature review, and therefore cannot be implemented based on sound recommendations.

This curriculum is an abbreviated version of the Johns Hopkins EBP model and is not meant to replace our full EBP course. By using activities and case studies*, nurse residents can practice skills associated with EBP while bypassing many of the pitfalls of other approaches.

* Due to copyright restrictions, case studies are not provided and should be developed by your organization. 

Are we required to use everything in the curriculum?

No! This curriculum is meant to be customized to meet the needs of both educators and nurse residents with multiple options for content delivery for each of the lessons. This comprehensive curriculum includes 10 zipped file lessons. Each lesson contains: 

  • Lesson overview: explaining the objectives and lecture time
  • PowerPoint slide decks (narrated and unnarrated)
  • Optional hands-on activities with answer keys
  • Suggested readings
  • Additional resources from the Johns Hopkins Center for Nursing Inquiry such as podcasts, videos, and blogs

This complete nurse residency curriculum plan is available for your organization to use in its NRP Program for the price of $1750 per site.
