| Popis: | The aim of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of a redesigned newly licensed nurse orientation program. A unique aspect of this program was an end-of-orientation simulated four-patient assignment that was designed to assess five categories of critical thinking: prioritization and delegation, problem recognition, clinical decision making, clinical implementation, and reflection. Newly licensed nurses' critical thinking was measured by the Advisory Board's Critical Thinking Diagnostic tool at 10 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months. Findings showed that in all five categories of critical thinking, a significant increase was found between the 10-week and 6-month evaluation. Two of the categories—prioritization and delegation, and problem recognition—were found to have a significant increase from the 6-month evaluation to the 12-month evaluation. In addition, newly licensed nurses reported improvement in their confidence and in their preparation to work independently. J Contin Educ Nurs. 2017;48(1):22–28. |
