Dr. Fineout-Overholt is an amazing professor. I was so honored to be able to be taught by her. This text shows her dedication to her work and the amazing passion she has for nursing. This book helped me tremendously.

Dean Melnyk has accomplished so much. I have been exposed to EBP since starting my program, and I am learning just how important it is in our careers.

I am proud to be a nursing student at OSU!
