With the field of nursing in the midst of an unprecedented transformation, nurse educators seek new approaches to classroom teaching and learning that prepare students to confront the complexities of practice and confidently solve problems in clinical settings.   Building on the foundation of Critical Conversations: The NLN Guide for Teaching Thinking, this second volume in the NLN s Critical Conversations series delivers specific examples and expert direction   grounded in knowledge from learning science and models of experiential, situated, and constructivist learning   that nurse educators can use to engage students in active thinking as they work together to determine the best approaches to clinical situations.
