Essential Differences Between Evidence‐Based Nursing and Evidence‐Based Medicine

Viewpoint provides a forum for scholarly discussion about the theoretical, philosophical, and practical issues related to nursing language and classification systems. The sometimes controversial views are intended to stimulate readers' comments and perspectives. We welcome brief, informal responses to published viewpoints. This Viewpoint is an expanded version of the introduction to “Online, Peer-Reviewed Bibliographic References on Sleep,” a presentation at the NNN conference “Developing, Linking, and Integrating Nursing Language and Informatics: Working Together for Quality Care,” April 10–13, Chicago.
