This book was released on 2017 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical thinking is a required curricular outcome for nursing education; however, the literature shows a gap related to valid and reliable tools to measure critical thinking specific to nursing and relating that critical thinking measurement to meaningful outcomes. This study examined critical thinking scores, as measured by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) Critical Thinking Exam (CTE), to determine if a statistically significant predictive association existed between critical thinking scores, successful Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program completion, and National Certification Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®) pass rates. The research was conducted in a semi-urban, hospital-based, ASN program and included 550 students obtained by convenience sampling in a retrospective, predictive correlational study. Logistical analysis was conducted to determine if any relationships existed between the variables of interest while controlling for confounding variables such as nursing course grade point average (GPA) and preadmission ATI Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) scores. Critical thinking was found to be a positive predictor of student success [program completion (p = .012); NCLEX success (p = .002)] as were TEAS [program completion (p = .003); NCLEX success (p = .001)] and nursing course GPA [NCLEX success (p = .001)]. However, cumulative effects for the three variables were not found to increase the predictive power of the model and none of the variables were deemed good predictors of failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Download or read book Critical Thinking as a Predictor of Success in an Associate Degree Nursing Program written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical thinking is an important concept in nursing education and is thought to be necessary for success in nursing. The primary purpose of this study was to determine if critical thinking is predictive of success in a nursing program. Success was defined as passing the National Council of State Boards of Nursing licensing exam for registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) on the first attempt. This study used an alternate measure of critical thinking, the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) critical thinking test. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed using passing the NCLEX-RN as the dependent variable and using critical thinking scores, GPA in nursing, and GPA in science courses as the independent variables. Results indicated that critical thinking scores were not predictive of success. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to corroborate results and similar results were found. The student's GPA in nursing courses was, however, found to be a statistically significant predictor of success.
