One of the best EBN resources, which includes integrative reviews with practice recommendations.

The Oncology Nursing Society is committed to the integration of evidence into oncology nursing practice, education and publication. The Web-site includes the Evidence Based Education Guidelines and the Evidence Based Practice Resource Area. The primary intent of the Evidence-Based Resource
Area is to provide nurses with a guide to identify, critically appraise and use evidence to solve clinical problems. It can also assist nurses – especially advanced practice nurses – who are helping others in developing evidence-based practice protocols. Any healthcare provider, administrator, educator, or student who wants to learn more about the Evidence-Based Practice process or who is involved with implementing such a process may find this resource area informative. The EBP process described at this site is applicable across a variety of healthcare settings. The Oncology Nursing Society's Evidence-Based Practice Resource Area presents current (past 5 years) integrated reviews of research relevant to oncology nursing practice
