Abstract
Clinical judgment has been identified by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing as a priority nursing skill to ensure the delivery of safe and effective nursing care. Undergraduate nursing students have been found to have difficulty making appropriate clinical judgments. New graduate nurses have been noted to lack the clinical judgment skills that are necessary for entry-level nursing practice. In response to this crisis in nursing practice, nurse educators must close the gap between didactic learning and clinical practice by implementing teaching and learning methods that facilitate clinical judgment. This presentation addresses innovative strategies for facilitating clinical reasoning and clinical judgment in the nursing classroom by using technology. Nearpod and the Apple iPad will be utilized to explore active learning that situates decision making within realistic patient care experiences.
Learning Outcomes
