This study also pointed out different steps to implement the scientific methods of research and derives evidences of a scientific nature and this study has also assisted in prevailing biomedical model during its inception. The data also revealed those supportive factors which have helped ethnically diversified students in coping the existing barriers. In addition, the evidences based on nursing industry have been presented in this article, which ranges from evidences based on medicine up to the nursing efforts for those that are dedicated to the evidence studies in trying to find an adequate definition for the discipline (Debra, 2006). The decision-making requires both knowing and managing the elements and the stages that make evidence-based practice as well as barriers and strategies presented in its implementation.

Therefore, it is important to reduce the barriers and ethnicity related issues of these nursing graduates so that they can care well the challenging and diversified population.

It brings positive results for students if their queries and problems are adequately responded by educators and it brings negative impact on ethnically diversified students, in cases where educators fail to respond satisfactorily.
