NURS 406 - Critical Thinking Through the Nursing Process

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Nursing

Description:

Critical Thinking is designed to augment the registered nurses' existing critical thinking knowledge base. Because critical thinking skills are essential to the nursing process, and are enhanced with clinical scenarios and actual nursing activities, this course will take place in the nursing laboratory. Emphasis will be placed on the expected actions of the professional nurse in response to patient care needs and collaboration with the health care team. This course will be interactive and it is the expectation that each nurse will exhibit the ability to problem solve, make appropriate decisions, think and act proactively, and evaluate courses of action, all within the context of the nursing process, and from a Christian worldview. This course will also include multicultural, ethical, and holistic practice issues across the lifespan.
