Conclusion:The reflective journals on Blackboard included self-assessment that involved organizing behavior. The knowledge gained from the EBP process motivated the students to implement EBP in the clinical setting. The students were facilitated to skilfully reflect and learn from each clinical situation. If a student is guided during the reflective process, it can lead to lifelong learning.

“…Nurses must conduct research to fill empirical knowledge gaps, continuously monitor health care policies and procedures (QI), and gather and review evidence in a systemic manner (EBP). Research, quality improvement, and evidencebased practice are useful tools in the health-care setting because they benefit patients, families, health-care team members, and nurses [7] .…”

Background: In the neonatal age, hypoglycemia is the most common metabolic disturbance. A common problem in newborn infant care is screening at-risk babies and controlling low blood glucose levels in the first hours to days of life.Methodology: A quasi-experimental design used in the present study with application of a (pre-test/ posttest I, post-test II), The study was carried out at NICU in teaching hospitals in Nasiriya city, Iraq (Bint Alhuda Teaching and Muhammed Al-Musawi Children Hospitals). The research sample includes (40) nurses working in NICU. They are selected by using non probability sampling (purposive sample). Results :The findings of the study in this table indicate that, according to the mean of the score level of assessment, there is low level of assessment of 40 (100%) at level (1-1.66) the mean of score and standard deviation are (1.25±0.087) at the pretest. There is high level of assessment of 40 (100%) at level (2.34-3) the mean of score and standard deviation are (2.54±0.097) at the posttest I. There is high level of assessment of 23 (82.5%) at level (2.34-3) the mean of score and standard deviation are (2.47±0.154) at the posttest II. the finding indicated that the improvement the nurses practice toward care neonates with hypoglycemia in the Posttest II . Conclusion:The program has effectiveness on the nurses' level of practice toward neonatal hypoglycemia during the 2 period of test, the study group have low level of practice before implementation of an educational program and the level of practice ascend to high level at posttest I and stay in high level at posttest II. There is a significant deference between the means of the nurses practice before and after implementation of the program. Recommendation:The researcher suggests that nurses' practices be assessed on a regular basis to identify any flaws that may be affecting their care of neonates with hypoglycemia. The importance of fully utilizing continuing medical education to provide neonatal hypoglycemia courses for all NICU nurses.

“…They also indicate that the process and knowledge on EBP they gained from the module will be shared with other professionals. Their reflection on the fact that recent research is a priority is seen as significantly positive and the fact that old methods are regarded as unscientific is the change of beliefs the researcher aspired to.Verbatim Quotes of Participants/Students:"…Using evidenced based practice helped me because I found out why certain treatments were given and which treatment yields a better result..." "...evidenced based practice facilitates a good health care system as people are being helped with the newest research and this will speed up the process of healing..." "…if I have found what is better in the treatment of a patient's condition that is evidenced based and is clinically proven, I can also share with other professionals for the benefit of the client….."Literature Control:EBP are knowledge based methods that improve nursing practice and is a problem-solving approach to clinical decision making that improves the outcomes for the patient, family and community[15]. EBP essentially improve patient's experiences…”

Introduction: Limited resources require EBP management that meets patients’ needs and preferences using newest research and expertise. Seeking out the best practices will lead to decreased length of stay and costs [1]. An evidence-based curriculum embedded across courses and years in the academic and clinical setting fosters the best method of facilitation of evidence-based decision-making [2]. EBP is not fully integrated into the curriculum of undergraduate nursing students. The undergraduate nursing curriculum is where nursing students must be introduced to EBP thus making the need for EBP in the curriculum an essential priority. Methods: The study was qualitative in nature. An EBP module was facilitated on Blackboard. Census sampling was used to select participants to ensure valuable information applicable to the research [3]. Informed consent were obtained from all final year undergraduate nursing students that agreed to participate. To ensure anonymity no student identifiers were used. Reflective journals served as qualitative data and were collected via Blackboard. Data were analyzed by using Tech’s six steps of content analysis. The researcher did the coding of the data which was verified by an independent external expert. Text that reflects a specific theme can be adjoined to represent certain experiences. Results: Reflective journals consist of memory and indicate opinions, perceptions, patterns and trends. Students could utilize Blackboard in a positive and safe environment. Timely feedback on a regular basis is a motivating experience and assists students to work through distressful clinical events, should any occur. There was a significant change in the students’ beliefs on the significance of EBP. EBP implementation took place concluding that EBP in the curriculum will contribute to the use of research utilization in practice. Students experienced the teaching strategies useful and reflected professional development. Conclusion: The reflective journals on Blackboard included self-assessment that involved organizing behavior. The knowledge gained from the EBP process motivated the students to implement EBP in the clinical setting. The students were facilitated to skilfully reflect and learn from each clinical situation. If a student is guided during the reflective process, it can lead to lifelong learning. Key words: Evidence-Based Practice, Curriculum, Reflection.
