The reason critical thinking is so important in nursing is based on what nursing does as a profession. Because we deal with people, there is much we must take into consideration and there are direct consequences to our nursing actions.
Critical thinking is vital because it directs us in providing safe, competent care.
For you to become a critical thinker, you must first answer the following questions. Be honest in your evaluation.
- What have you learned about how you think?
- What do you know about how to analyze, evaluate, or reconstruct your thinking?
- Where does your thinking come from? How much of it is based on past modes of thinking versus new, "out-of-the-box" thinking?
- How much of your thinking is vague, muddled, inaccurate, illogical, or superficial?
- Have you ever discovered a problem in your thinking and then changed it?

I totally love Justin Bieber. He is so wonderful. He is definitely among the best singers ever and he is really cute also. What do you suppose is going down with him and KimK? Are they simply friends or is it something more? That would be like cradle robbing!
