Chapter 15: Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is imbedded into all aspects of nursing. Critical thinking is an incorporation of the nursing process, problem solving, scientific method, ethics, codes, laws, safety, quality, policies, procedures, and knowledge. Critical thinking is thought that has purpose and is utilized to find meaning in data. In other words, it is how nurses make decisions based on integration of various strategies. When facing a client situation, the nurse must gather data, look at the data, determine the significance of the data, and then determine what to do based on scientific method, ethics, codes, laws, etc. (As listed above) Many attribute critical thinking to common sense, but it is more than that; it is knowledge based decision making and problem solving.

As new nurse, you make a more conscientious effort to apply critical thinking skills because you are more task oriented and trying to learn how to organize how you will perform your nursing care activities. An experienced nurse uses more creativity and innovation when faced with a situation; you learn a variety of different approaches for the same therapy and are more self-assured in the decision you make. Critical thinking becomes less utilized because a seasoned nurse has become experienced on different situations that a new nurse might not know how to approach.
