Description
This workshop will equip nursing educators in prelicensure programs with a comprehensive framework for teaching clinical judgment across the nursing program. The session will discuss the rationale for the NCSBN’s Next Generation (NGN) project, including research trends of new graduate performance. An analysis of the proposed NGN prototype questions will be discussed to highlight the level of thinking needed to answer these higher-level questions.
Comparison of current approaches to teaching clinical judgment will be contrasted with the implementation of a novel, comprehensive framework. Changes in clinical and classroom instruction and testing will be discussed. The workshop will provide participants with opportunity to apply workshop content in group work.
