le, personality, and expectations as much as possible. This does not involve offering persona
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


l compliments to the instructor or asking questions for the purpose of becoming known. At t

he same time, a student should not be completely silent at the start of a course.

e available, not how much time the student wishes was available. This does not mean that s
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


chool work should suffer because of personal activities, however. It is often helpful to sched
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


ule days off rather than studying every day of the week.

5. A nursing student is aware of the importance of critical thinking, especially in clinical situ

gin by asking:

sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


bout the situation. This should come before a comparison with previous situations. It is likely
sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx sx


not helpful to ask what could possibly go wrong.
