This book was released on 2014 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical thinking and clinical judgment are essential competencies for professional nursing practice. These abilities are used continually, enabling nurses to provide safe nursing care to increasingly complex patients in a variety of healthcare settings. The challenge that faces baccalaureate nursing programs as they prepare nursing students to function competently upon graduation, is how best to facilitate the development of these skills in our students. The purpose of this capstone project was to test the effect of the middle range theory of the Developing Nurses' Thinking (DNT) Model on clinical judgment in nursing students. Tanner's Clinical Judgment Model formed the conceptual framework for this project. An experimental, pretest/posttest study was conducted using a convenience sample of 44 senior students at one southeastern baccalaureate nursing program. Two clinical groups received the intervention in post conferences, while three groups served as the control group. Student clinical judgment was measured in high fidelity patient simulation, using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric. Paired t-tests evaluated the differences between clinical judgment scores and an independent t-test was utilized to evaluate the difference between groups. Both groups showed statistically significant improvements on the posttest, but there was no statistically significant difference between groups. Therefore, the findings of this study did not support the use of the DNT Model to facilitate the development of clinical judgment in nursing students. However, small sample size and inadequate exposure to the intervention were likely contributors to these outcomes.

Book excerpt: About: To prepare you for real world practice, this book will highlight content areas most relevant to the bedside and why they must be mastered and understood. To help visualize the professional development that is needed as you transition to the responsibilities of the professional nurse, I use the metaphor of building a house; not a static structure, but a unique, vibrant "living" house that is a reflection of how you choose to build and add to it over time. Nursing is a living and vibrant practice that requires your personal involvement and engagement to promote the well-being of those you care for. The components of this "living" home include: Foundation: A house must have a firm and stable foundation. The ethical comportment or the art of nursing is this foundation for every nurse. Caring behaviors, nurse engagement, and professionalism in practice must be present or your nursing practice could be on shaky ground before it even begins! Walls: The applied sciences of nursing: pharmacology, fluid and electrolytes, and anatomy and physiology. I contextualize these sciences to the bedside so the relevance of mastering this content becomes apparent. Roof: Critical thinking and clinical reasoning, which is the thinking that is required by the nurse that completes the house and ties everything together. Skeletons in the closet: Every house has closets and some have a few skeletons in them! Incivility and men in nursing will be explored in detail!

Book excerpt: Why Use this BookExcellent patient outcomes is the number one goal for all healthcare providers, including nurses. Nurses contribute to improving patient outcomes through excellent nursing care using abilities such as predicting and managing potential complications and decreasing the failure to rescue rate. To meet the goal of excellent patient outcomes, nurses must learn how to think, specifically how to use clinical judgment. However, before a nurse can use clinical judgment, the nurse must first develop clinical judgment. This book does just that! "Think Like a Nurse: A Handbook" unlocks the mystery of thinking like a nurse by providing a step-by-step approach for developing clinical judgment. All nursing students and nurses can benefit from what this book presents. Finally! A book that teaches how to develop clinical judgment!Who Should Use this BookThis book is written as a textbook for use in all levels of pre-licensed nursing education: LPN/LVN, Associate Degree, Baccalaureate Degree, and entry-level Master's Degree students. It can also be used in all RN-to-BSN programs as students revisit the process of developing clinical judgment then learn to apply clinical judgment in community health settings and management in health care. RN-to-BSN students can also use this information as they work with nursing students or orient new staff in the practice setting. This book is also an excellent resource for nursing professional development practitioners and nurse preceptors as they work with new graduates and new nurse hires to expand their application of thinking as a staff nurse.Finally, this book is a critical element for all students enrolled in Master's in Nursing Education programs. Those being educated as faculty in nursing programs and as nursing professional development practitioners must focus on teaching thinking if we are to meet the ultimate goal of improved patient outcomes through excellent nursing care.
Download or read book The Effect of Simulation on the Development of Clinical Judgment in Second Degree Nursing Students written by Mary Ellen Rush and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses are challenged to use critical thinking skills and make sound clinical judgment in achieving optimal patient outcomes and improving patient safety (Alfaro-LeFevre, 2017). Clinical judgment is the ability to interpret patient data, and develop appropriate and timely interventions (Bussard, 2018). The effect of simulation on the development of clinical judgment has been investigated extensively in traditional nursing students. The rapid development of second-degree nursing students to address the nursing shortage (Sedgwick, Kellet, & Kalischuck, 2014), requires further investigation of the effect of simulation on the development of clinical judgment in second-degree nursing students. Opportunities for simulation experiences promote the development of clinical judgment in second-degree nursing students (Mariani, Cantrell, Meakin, & Jenkinson, 2015). This study encompassed a regularly scheduled simulation experience for students enrolled in a gerontology course in a second-degree nursing program. The study used a cross sectional design and encompasses an educational preparation video and demographic survey prior to the simulation. The Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (Lasater, 2007) was used post debriefing and reflection to assess the effect of the simulation on the development of clinical judgment. Statistical analysis using SPSS software was used for data analysis, results, and understanding the implications for translating the evidence into practice.

Download or read book Factors Contributing to Clinical Judgment Development in Nursing Students During Simulation Using the Creighton Competency Evaluation Instrument written by Susan Etheridge Kidd and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is imperative that nurse educators find inventive ways to advance nursing practice by developing a dynamic and divergent nursing workforce. Health care environments can be unpredictable and unsettling due to high acuity levels of patients. The development of excellent clinical judgment is necessary for nurses to meet the workforce demands that this type of environment poses. Nurse leaders report dissatisfaction with new graduates' ability to adequately perform competencies such as critical thinking. Nurse educators must establish approaches that teach, enforce, and evaluate the development of higher level thinking in nursing students. This non-experimental descriptive correlational study explored factors that affect the development of clinical judgment in Bachelor of Science nursing students during a synthesis simulation. The Creighton Competency Evaluation Instrument (CCEI) was used to measure clinical judgment. Tanner's Clinical Judgment Model provided the theoretical foundation for this study. The clinical judgment of 108 BSN students in their fourth semester of a traditional nursing program was assessed by the researcher using the CCEI in the lab during a synthesis simulation. Students also completed a demographic questionnaire. Statistical methods used to analyze the data included descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, one way analysis of variance, and Pearson product correlation. Males were found to have significantly higher overall clinical judgment. Males also scored statistically higher on the communication subscale. There were no other statistical differences in demographics or the subscale scores of the CCEI. Work experience had no significant impact on total clinical judgment scores. Participants that reported working in healthcare scored significantly higher on the patient safety subscale of the CCEI that those reporting working but not in healthcare. The unemployed group did not differ significantly from the employed in healthcare or the employed not in healthcare groups on the patient safety subscale. Small correlations were found between HESITM (E2) raw scores and CCEI total as well as communication and clinical judgment subscale scores. The findings of this study contributed to the overall knowledge about clinical judgment and the CCEI as a means to evaluate clinical judgment. Application of findings could be used to increase the use of simulation and foster the development of clinical judgment in nursing students. Clinical judgment terminology should be a standard part of every nursing curriculum. Simulation, with an emphasis on clinical judgment, could be used to increase HESI[trademark] (E2) scores of students thus better preparing them for NCLEX. It is recommended that future studies use a longitudinal approach to measuring clinical judgment. This would provide more discernible data to evaluate the development of clinical judgment over time. It is also recommended that more research be done to establish the CCEI as a valid and reliable tool to measure clinical judgment as well as faculty perceptions of the CCEI.

Download or read book Clinical Decision Making and Judgement in Nursing written by Carl Thompson and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2002 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book will give a critical overview of the current research literature regarding the topic of clinical decision making and judgement in nursing. This is in contrast to other texts which either rely on anecdotal evidence to justify their approach, or focus on medical (rather than nurse) decision making. The text aims to help individuals apply different techniques to practice, aiming for a 'non-academic' style which will be easy for readers to understand. Both the editors are researchers in the field of nurse decision making and have considerable experience teaching the subject on third level diploma/degree, masters level and post-registration nursing courses. This text is therefore unique in drawing together both the research (current as well as that which has already been published) and practical experience of implementing techniques in practice.
