Describing Learners ’ Clinical Judgment Trajectory After Observing Expert Modeling Videos: A Mixed Methods Study

Learners take between one to three years following practice entry developing cognitive skills for “thinking like a nurse” (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard& Day, 2009). Learners often lack clinical judgment (CJ) required for safe, independent practice (Kavanagh& Sharpnack,  2021). Despite employers citing CJ as necessary skills, only 17 percent of graduate nurses meet minimal CJ standards (Kavanagh& Sharpnack,  2021). CJ inadequacies lead to errors, unsafe conditions, or patient harm (Hickerson, Taylor& Terhaar, 2016).
