Abstract

Clinical decision making has been identified as one of the most important contributions made by the professional nurse in the care of patients. Yet as a discipline, we continue to question what factors influence the development of clinical decision making skills. The purpose of this study was to identify how nursing students learn clinical decision making. Heideggerian phenomenology and hermeneutical analysis provided the framework and method for the study.
