Overview/Abstract: This 60-minute educational session highlights the impactful work of three nursing professionals whose initiatives address critical issues in clinical practice and patient outcomes. The session features one research study and two quality improvement projects, each designed and led by nurses committed to advancing evidence-based care. Presenters will describe the background, methodology, and key findings of their work, emphasizing lessons learned and implications for practice. Collectively, these initiatives showcase the range of nursing inquiry—from generating new evidence to translating findings into sustainable improvements in care delivery and professional well-being. Attendees will gain practical strategies for applying research and quality improvement outcomes within their own settings and be inspired to pursue scholarly efforts that promote excellence in nursing practice.
