Career Development

Clinical reasoning-how a nurse processes information and chooses what action to take-is a skill vital to nursing practice and split-second decisions. And yet, developing the clinical reasoning to make good decisions takes time, education, experience, patience, and reflection.

The facilitator guide for Ethical Case Studies for Advanced Practice Nurses provides questions to assist in facilitating discussion in the classroom. Prior to class, students can read the case study and be prepared to respond to each of the steps. The case studies are from real-life situations that require thoughtful critical analysis.
