Written and developed by Canadians with the Canadian nursing context in mind, this new resource is the only fundamental Canadian-focused nursing text to support you in developing clinical reasoning skills and clinical judgement for decision making in nursing practice. Thinking it Through: Clinical Reasoning, Clinical Judgement, and Decision Making in Canadian Nursing moves beyond the nursing process to deliver focused strategies using a unified process for thinking and decision making that is visible, relatable, real — and needed by future nurses. Introducing useful models and practical frameworks as essential nursing tools, this structured guide for nursing cognitive development is a valuable resource throughout every year of your nursing program.
