Healthcare organizations and especially nursing have been obsessedwith evidence-based practice (EBP) projects, yet too often these projects end prematurely, and any ability to create a sustainable change is lost. Perhaps it is because the final steps to the successful implementation of a practice change based on evidence are the steps omitted. Translation requires much more than an attempt at implementation; translation requires research, and perhaps this step is omitted out of fear of research itself. Because the clinical nurse specialist is uniquely qualified to lead EBP projects, it is important that they are also versed in how to use translational sciencemethods to evaluate the implementation process and ensure it is effective, feasible, and sustainable. The purpose of this article is to describe the steps involved in moving evidence into nursing practice.

Purpose: The study purpose was to examine the effect of interprofessional naloxone training on students' knowledge, confidence, and interprofessional collaboration competency. The overarching goal was to decrease mortality related to opioid overdoses.
Design/methods: A training session for interprofessional students consisted of a lecture presentation, demonstration, and hands-on practice regarding appropriate administration of naloxone for suspected opioid overdose. A questionnaire elicited baseline and change in knowledge, confidence, and interprofessional collaboration competency scores at pretraining and posttraining. In addition, changes in knowledge and confidence were also measured 3 weeks after the training. Thematic analysis explored training components that students perceived as valuable or needing improvement.
Results: Participants (N = 100) were nursing (n = 33), physician assistant (n = 37), and pharmacy (n = 30) students. Pretraining and posttraining comparison demonstrated increased knowledge (P < .001), confidence (P < .001), and collaboration scores (P < .001). At 3 weeks, knowledge and confidence remained higher than pretraining (P < .001). Knowledge was trending downward compared with posttraining (P = .09). Thematic analysis identified 4 themes: (a) indications for administration of different naloxone types, (b) learning modalities, (c) knowledge application, and (d) improvements.
Conclusions: An interprofessional naloxone administration training resulted in increased knowledge, confidence, and interprofessional teamwork. Educators can adapt this training for a variety of future or current healthcare professionals to improve immediate intervention and outcomes in suspected opioid overdoses.

Background The future of the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) role depends on nurses enrolling in CNS programs and having access to clinical experiences. At 1 institution, challenges with CNS recruitment and variations in how students were precepted were noted. This article describes a successful CNS student program and its value in creating a talent pipeline. Project A revision to student placements was initiated to create a formalized program including enhanced academic partnerships, standardized expectations and goals, assigned clinical projects and end-of-semester presentations, appointment of a student coordinator, and structured preceptor preparation. Outcomes Outcomes included 100 placements for 50 different students; the primary source of recruitment for the organization is now prior students, with 17 being hired since program inception. A 325% increase was also noted in qualified preceptors. Student productivity increased, and 11 students were accepted for national presentations. Academic sites have reported increased satisfaction. Conclusion Organizations looking to increase CNS recruitment should consider the revision of their student program. A centralized CNS responsible for student experiences can ensure standardization and provide preceptor support. The CNSs have an essential role in securing their future nationally and can do so through growing new talent and aiding in preparation for practice.
