Too many students are being taught approaches that are no longer relevant to practice. Alfaro-LeFevre knows how to grab your attention and let you know what you must know to succeed both in classroom and clinical settings. She discusses "old" versus "new" thinkng and gives sound strategies and rational for moving forward into this decade. As with her other book, Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgment --- an AJN Book of the Year Award winner --- she makes difficult content easy (even fun) to learn. Her emphasis on ANA standards as they apply to using nursing process as a tool for critical thinking ensures a sound, logical, relevant approach.
