Rona F. Levin, PhD, RN, is internationally recognized for her work in evidence-based practice improvement. In 2015, Sigma Theta Tau International presented her with their Evidence-Based Practice Award. She and co-editor, Dr. Harriet Feldman, won AJN Book of the Year Awards for the first (2006) and second (2013) editions of Teaching Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing published by Springer. Dr. Levin, now in a preferred state (semi-retired), practiced in almost every clinical service at the beginning of her career. In 1968, she developed the idea for and implemented as the nurse manager a new unit at then Long Island Jewish Hospital, known as self-directed patient care, which embodied all the components of evidence-based nursing practice, integrating evidence-based care with patients values and goals, and her clinical experience and caring, before EBP became the by-word for nursing practice.
