Equip your students to pass the Next-Generation NCLEX-PN® Examination (NGN-PN) on their first try with Developing Clinical Judgment for Practical/Vocational Nursing and the Next-Generation NCLEX-PN® Examination. Written by renowned nursing education expert Donna D. Ignatavicius and a team of expert item writers, this practical workbook focuses on developing the clinical reasoning skills students need to succeed on the NGN-PN and in clinical practice. This collection of engaging and practical thinking exercises has been carefully developed to incorporate the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM) and to emphasize the new item types that will be integral to the NGN-PN. Exercises range from basic to more complex and address all key content areas to fully prepare students for all facets of the exam. This "next-generation" workbook will become an invaluable resource for helping you grow your students’ clinical reasoning skills to match what’s expected on the new NGN-PN!
