Critical Thinking and Simulation

Abstract

The purpose was to examine the impact of critical thinking (CT) upon clinical judgment (CJ) during pediatric medication administration. Objective Structured Clinical Evaluations (OSCE) with 160 pre-licensure baccalaureate senior-level nursing students. Nurse educators are now called to 'radically transform' teaching strategies from a focus on CT to CJ in order to bridge the education-practice gap. The problem of overlapping definitions of CT and CJ further confuses the direction of these teaching strategies.
