Teaching nursing in the clinical setting is vastly different from other disciplines. The current research indicates the critical thinking occurs in the post conference. I use the Socratic style here. With the advent of simulation labs, you will find the debriefing post simulation is a close match to post conference using socratic questions. Post conference is not just a time to rattle off the litany of chores preformed for the day. It is a time to connect the data and analyze the results.
