Evaluation of Clinical Judgment in Prelicensure Nursing Students.

Clinical judgment is an essential end-of-program outcome for prelicensure nursing students. Evaluating progression of clinical judgment when students participate in simulated patient experiences is essential in ensuring that end-of-program and course outcomes are achieved. The purpose of this study was to identify if progression in clinical judgment is evident after students participate in 4 simulated patient experiences as measured by the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric.
