Keywords:
Critical thinking, nursing education, simulation-based learning, problem-based learning, reflective practice, clinical reasoning, decision-making.Abstract
Critical thinking is an essential competency for nursing professionals, enabling them to make informed decisions in complex and unpredictable healthcare environments. Nursing students must develop these skills early in their education to succeed in clinical practice. This article explores the importance of fostering critical thinking in nursing education and presents several teaching strategies, including simulation-based learning, case studies, problem-based learning (PBL), and reflective practice.
