BERPIKIR KRITIS DALAM KEPERAWATAN
Critical thinking is the main ability that nurses must have. However, learning methods that are commonly implemented have not been able to optimally facilitate the development of critical thinking skills of nursing students. Thinking is one of the functions of the brain and this function can work well if the body is in a healthy state and the environment that provides stimulation. To carry out the process of nursing nurses are required to perform cognitive activities in critical thinking that required several components including: knowledge, assessment, competence, attitudes and standards of critical thinking in the nursing process starting from the process of Assessment, Nursing Diagnosis, Nursing Planning, Implementation and evaluation which all constitute standards of professional nursing practice. Nurses in fulfilling comprehensively use critical and professional skills so that the services provided are quality for both patients and nurses themselves.
