Abstract
Background: Nursing education programs continue to face an immense amount of change over a short period of time. The introduction of the NCSBN clinical judgement model (NCJMM), the NGN NCLEX-RN, and the Essentials (2021) from the AACN have nursing programs quickly adjusted curriculum to meet national nursing education agency’s recommendations for future nurses. Methods: This paper provides reflection and interventions for nursing educators and leaders to consider as they navigate the post-pandemic healthcare demands of new graduate nurses. Implementing activities encouraging critical thinking to build clinical judgement is paramount for undergraduate nursing curriculum. Conclusion: Curriculum must match the required knowledge and skills of their discipline. With the growing acuity of illness and diversity of those seeking healthcare, nursing knowledge does not merely represent textbook content, but a mindset which can analyze the full clinical picture and plan of care accordingly.
