Abstract Those who are hired to teach nursing students in the clinical setting often learn on the job and may lack a complete understanding of the teaching process. Knowledgeable clinical instruction is critical in facilitating student learning experiences, just as knowledgeable nursing care is crucial for providing safe patient care. Dr. Christine Tanner's clinical judgment model (CJM) illustrates the way practicing nurses develop clinical judgment. Many similarities exist with the way practicing nurses and novice clinical teachers learn to apply judgment in practice. An adaptation of Tanner's CJM (2006) was revealed as a useful framework in supporting the growth of clinical teaching judgment with novice clinical teachers.
