As nurse educators, we know that critical thinking is essential for making informed clinical decisions. However, developing this skill can be challenging, especially in the fast-paced and high-pressure environment of clinical practice. Thats where the Socrative Deck and/or the Scenario Cards come in – unique tools designed to encourage critical thinking in nursing students.

  • What are Scenario Cards?
    The Scenario Cards are a set of 10 cards featuring thought-provoking questions and scenarios that simulate real-life clinical situations. Each card is designed to challenge students to think critically and make informed clinical decisions, just like they would in actual practice. **How does it work?** To use the Scenario Cards, simply draw a card and read the scenario or question aloud. Ask students to consider the question and respond as if they were in a real clinical situation. Encourage them to think critically and provide evidence-based answers as to how they will proceed with caring for the patient.
  • What is the Socratic Deck?
    The Socratic Deck is a set of 24 thought-provoking questions that help students learn to analyze complex information, evaluate evidence, and make informed clinical judgements. They enhance the students problem-solving skills by presenting questions that encourage them to recognize and analyze patient cues. The deck helps students develop their ability to approach patient care in a systematic and logical way, thus allowing them to make good clinical decisions.
