Nursing Process 2.0 and The Arc of Nursing Knowledge

Abstract

The current transition from the nursing process to the clinical judgment model in nursing education is an opportunity to regenerate the original nursing process in a significant way. This article proposes to enhance the conceptual rigor of the nursing process by integrating nursing conceptual knowledge throughout its steps. The resulting Nursing Process 2.0 is a framework that supports critical thinking skills that underlie the clinical judgment model from a grounding in nursing conceptual knowledge.
