Are you unsure how to use the nursing process and clinical judgment when caring for gynecologic and obstetric patients? This online nursing course gives you a clear, step-by-step guide to applying the nursing process, from assessment to evaluation, while sharpening the clinical judgment skills that keep patients safe. You discover how effective decision-making in maternity nursing boosts patient outcomes, reduces errors, and builds your confidence in fast-changing clinical situations, so you feel ready for NCLEX prep and real practice.
You then explore how clinical judgment is measured on the NCLEX RN using the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, or CJMM. Step by step, you work through recognizing and analyzing cues, prioritizing hypotheses, generating solutions, taking action, and evaluating outcomes, precisely as you will in the exam. By connecting each phase of the nursing process to NCLEX-style questions, you learn how to think like a safe, competent new graduate nurse during high-stakes testing and real practice.
Finally, you apply everything in an engaging unfolding case study that follows Toni from early pregnancy through preterm labor and into decision-making for her newborn, Drew. You answer NCLEX-style questions, practice clinical judgment in realistic maternity scenarios, and see exactly how strong reasoning changes patient outcomes. By the end, you will be better prepared to pass the NCLEX RN, start your role as a beginning generalist nurse, and provide safe, confident maternity care.
