This episode of the NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted Scholarship track features guests Mary Ann Jessee and Janet Monagle. They discuss their study on the use of clinical judgment models in prelicensure nursing curricula, highlighting the importance of these models in preparing students for the next generation NCLEX. The study found that while only 27% of nursing programs currently use a clinical judgment model, many plan to adopt one due to the upcoming changes in the NCLEX. Tanner's clinical judgment model was identified as the most frequently used due to its clear language and ease of integration into curricula. The conversation emphasizes the need for faculty development and strategic teaching strategies to effectively implement these models and enhance students' clinical judgment skills.
