Raise the standard of professional nursing practice and teach clinical care providers how to function at a higher level by teaching and developing nurses’ critical thinking abilities.
 

As you know, critical thinking is essential to nurses’ success. The ability to think critically is crucial to resident care, and reducing medical errors. This book provides nurse managers and educators with accessible and easy ways to teach these valuable skills to their staff.

 

Build confidence and competence through critical thinking. This book provides an easy-to-read resource that explains the principles of critical thinking and how to encourage nurses to use critical thinking methods. This essential book covers how to lead classroom sessions for all of your staff, including both new graduate nurses and experienced nurses. The modules will help to develop critical thinking skills, including successful classroom processes and learning strategies. The book includes learning strategies, and handouts to supplement the classroom.

Critical Thinking in Long-Term Care Nursing is for orientation and beyond, and includes tools and resources for ongoing development. Benefits for both novice and seasoned professional nurses:

  • Learn how to develop a culture of critical thinking, from coaching new grads through bad resident outcomes to encouraging experienced nurses by setting expectations.

  • You also get a CD-ROM with all the book’s valuable and completely customizable resources—specifically for long-term care such as assessment tools, worksheets, and sample questions.
