Critical Thinking Skills Development Course

A 5-hour course on the topic of critical thinking skills will be implemented for the purpose of preparing nursing students for successful completion of the nursing program as well as become solid critical thinkers. Critical thinking is imperative for providing safe and effective care of clients in hospital and other acute care settings. Providing a virtual environment that allows interaction between instructor and learners can provide support and engage nursing students in learning through participation(Myrick, Caplan, Smitten & Rusk, 2010).

This course would be offered to students that have successfully completed the first semester of nursing, or Fundamentals of Nursing 101. The course would be provided in the interim semester, the time between Fall and Spring.
