Introduction to Clinical Research Reasoning

In addition to nursing knowledge, one must learn analytical thinking to be a successful nurse. It is by logical thinking that he or she is going to make life-saving choices. Nurses who aspire to be critical thinkers must be logical, reasonable, clear, accurate, honest and fair; and all of these qualities must be articulated when they act, speak or write.
