Abstract

Background

The National Council State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) clinical judgment model (CJM) is integral to prelicensure nursing education, necessitating consistent strategies to develop students’ clinical judgment. Effective strategies should guide students’ decision-making, emphasize priorities, and support deep learning.

Innovation

This article introduces a mapping template aligned with the NSCBN CJM, facilitating a systematic approach to clinical judgment. The template offers visual organization, specific actions for each step, and prompts for critical thinking.

Implications

The mapping template can enhance student engagement, repetition of concepts, and reflective learning to support clinical judgment consistently across a prelicensure nursing curriculum. Faculty can integrate it into various teaching contexts, clinical instructors can assess students’ decision-making in real-life situations, and students can employ it for independent study.

Conclusions

Consistent use of the mapping template fosters a common language, reinforces CJM steps, and serves as a formative assessment tool. Integrating the template into prelicensure nursing education aligns with best practices for developing clinical judgment.
