Practice is where clinical judgment comes to life.

Through patient cases, documentation, simulation, immersive learning, and clinical experiences, students have opportunities to apply knowledge, make decisions, and build confidence over time.

Lippincott Practice brings together simulation for nursing education and other essential practice experiences to help students develop clinical judgment and competency across the curriculum.

A scaffolded approach to clinical judgment
Clinical judgment does not develop through a single experience.  It develops through repeated opportunities to reason, decide, apply, and perform in increasingly complex situations.  As students progress from learning concepts to caring for patients, they need practice experiences that build on one another over time.  Lippincott Practice supports that progression through solutions designed to strengthen clinical judgment, develop competency, and prepare students for practice.
