Nurse managers must not only fulfill their daily responsibilities, they must lead the change demanded that will secure a bright future for American health care.

The society defines EBNP as “an integration of the best evidence available, nursing expertise, and the values and preferences of the individuals, families, and communities who are served” (as noted in Chitty, 2005, p. 325). The Society provides multiple research benefits that include: Registry of Nursing Research online database housed in its Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library containing more than 30,000 free research studies and abstracts from around the world; opportunities to apply and receive research grants that contribute to the advancement of nursing; and opportunities to locate research, submit research for posting, and network with researchers. These resources provide nurses with the most current and comprehensive resources to support EBNP, education, and the development of policy (Chitty, 2005). A second research entity that supports nursing practice is the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
