Tracking Clinical Judgment Development in Clinical Education with the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric

Clinical judgment is a cornerstone of safe, effective nursing practice and a critical competency for prelicensure nursing students. Despite its importance, there remains a significant gap in how clinical judgment is assessed in real-world clinical settings. In this podcast, the authors (Drs. Lisa Jacobs, Michelle Bussard, Emily Niedzwiecki, and Kathie Lasater) discuss their research involving the use of the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric to assess clinical judgment development in a prelicensure nursing program. Their article is OPEN ACCESS: read and share widely.
