Orienting new graduates through simulation, which incorporated critical thinking performance at the bedside, improved their readiness to respond to critical situations and eased transition to the appropriately assigned unit. Graduate nurses' critical thinking processes at the bedside were observed and scored according to how quickly correct diagnoses were made and interventions identified. A scorecard was developed based on defined criteria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
