Abstract
Nursing requires critical thinking to provide effective patient care. “The production of clear, accurate, and relevant writing is an essential competency in nursing.” Undergraduate nursing students learn to enhance their writing skills in a nursing research/advanced writing course taken during the program. Those students who do not enjoy writing most likely struggle with writing papers and often do not learn anything from the subject material or gain any critical thinking skills from writing in general. It is hoped through this course, students may gain a greater understanding and appreciation of writing to write effectively without apprehensions.
