Critical thinking in nursing education

Critical thinking is a necessary component as nursing students move toward successful nursing practices along the educational path. Its use and its creative approach to integrating all aspects of nursing education are more important than ever. In addition to better determining the goals and accomplishments of meeting critical thinking standards in courses and programs, there is a need to change the way of thinking. As part of a successful nursing education, each student must accept and actively seek responsibility for the self-integration of key thinking processes. Using personal information processing and learning methods allows each student to play an active role in successful educational outcomes. This process can be customized separately because it uses brain processing, classification and association methods, so all learning makes sense. Every student has the key to his or her success. While many factors and combinations of strategies can be utilized, certain factors and strategies are prioritized and put into practice very simply. In essence, there are three other launch points used or developed. The three basic components required for critical thinking are:

Ask or ask: This component includes not only questions to ask, but also how and why you ask them. The ability to do this directly is related to understanding, which is the foundation of your knowledge. Every student needs an honest assessment and reflection on this. Keep in mind that all theoretical roads lead to clinical practice, so please question everything in this format. Association production and pattern recognition are important here.

Self-discipline: This should be driven by your passion and commitment to care. It takes the following form:

Adequate and meaningful learning time

The use of learning styles in learning and notes

Goal setting - daily and weekly and long-term goals

Organize your thinking with a worksheet or template

Take care of yourself so you can complete your goals

Maintain a positive attitude

Creativity: Creativity can help you provide a learning style and even make the learning and learning process more interesting. In addition, the authoring process ensures that knowledge is enhanced and helps you apply the knowledge. Some ideas related to creativity [although they are limited to your imagination] are:

Separate study courses, you can read notes aloud

Use or consider a descriptive phrase that links the theory to the action you will take to take notes

Learning as if you are taking an exam - in other words, rewriting notes or concepts into test questions

Integrate more visual and auditory methods into learning and taking notes

It's easy to see how all these concepts are combined and part of each other. Each fits into the other and forces students to have a deep self-awareness. As this awareness expands to include critical thinking and the need to actively acquire and apply it, educational success and successful transition to practice will surely follow. Mastering this process can also increase confidence and improve clinical reasoning and judgment.
