Abstract:
This simulation-based learning (SBL) teaching project introduced students to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) and focused SBL activities on the development of student clinical judgment. Using a CJMM whiteboard, students engaged in the cognitive aspects of clinical decision-making in providing nursing care to simulated patients. Based on Tanner's Clinical Judgment Model, post SBL reflections supported students in thinking critically about their clinical judgment.
