INTRODUCTION Nursing education consists of the theoretical and practical training provided to nurses with the purpose to prepare them for their duties as nursing care professionals. The scope of nursing practice reflects all the role and responsibilities undertaken by the nurse to address the full range of human experiences and responses to health and illness. The instructional strategies utilized in both didactic and clinical components of nursing education courses are highly influential in determining critical thinking and clinical decision making ability as well as in developing the psychomotor skill performance of new graduates. Simulation provides nursing students with opportunities to practice their clinical and decision-making skills through various real-life situational experiences. Although endorsed in nursing curricula, its effectiveness is largely unknown.

Objective: Reflective writing is consistently linked to improved clinical decision-making. However, analyzing the journals to evaluate the reflective abilities of nursing students is scanty locally. This study aimed to assess the reflective skills of undergraduate nursing students.Methods: A qualitative thematic content analysis using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Evaluation Rubric was used to assess the reflective abilities of 33 undergraduate nursing students in 138 journal entries. Guided by Gibb's reflective model, the students documented their experiences during a clinical attachment at a National Referral Hospital in Kenya between February and August 2018. Data coding and thematic linking were done using NVIVO version 11. Results: Reflective abilities differed across gender and to some extent across years of study. Most participants were more likely to notice the deviation from the norm, whether patient-related or health care environment-related. Moreover, they demonstrated the ability to respond to the situation, self-evaluate, and develop action plans for future encounters. However, the majority struggled with interpreting findings.Conclusions: Gender differences exist in the way nursing students reflect. Most nursing students focus on describing the situation rather than developing solutions. There is, however, an indication of developing reflective abilities across the year of study.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand the perceptions of senior students in an undergraduate nursing course at a nursing college in Lisbon regarding skills related to clinical decision-making learned during their initial training. Methods: qualitative study, of an exploratory and descriptive nature. Data collection occurred by carrying out a focus group with eight senior students in an undergraduate nursing course. Data treatment applied content analysis, performed with twebQDA® software. Results: data were analyzed according to the four dimensions of Tanner’s model of clinical judgment, and noticing and interpreting stood out as the most influential in clinical decision-making. Theoretical and clinical knowledge, validation of care planning, prioritization, and capacity to discuss and debate about situations emerged as the most representative skills. Final considerations: students make decisions by means of a complex process by using the knowledge and skills learned during their training.

This paper discusses the experience of planning and implementing a clinical simulation session, from the perspective of students and lecturers. The aim of the simulation exercise was to prepare students for coping with clinical decision making associated with caring for a group of patients. Students were in year three of a Pre-registration Nursing Honours Degree programme.Preparation of nurses who are fit for practice has been the subject of scrutiny for some time. Most recently the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) publication, Nursing: Towards 2015 (NMC 2007) and the recent pre-registration review of nursing education (NMC, 2008), highlight the national shortage of clinical placements for undergraduate pre-registration nursing students. Consequently an opportunity has been created to increase simulated practice hours as the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) indicate that practice hours for pre-registration nursing students can be undertaken in a simulated practice environment (NMC Circular 36/2007). Thus, there is an imperative to increase clinical simulation time within undergraduate nursing education as well as the opportunity develop creative clinical skills education to augment other aspects of the curriculum.
