Critical Thinking in Nursing

This video looks at the devastating true story of nurse Eunice Rivers and the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study in which 400 African American men were left untreated for the disease in order to provide data for government study. It underscores the need for analysis, reason, and independent thinking at all levels of nursing practice. This emotionally resonant case brings forth a number of thought-provoking social and ethical issues ideal for developing critical thinking in undergraduate and graduate students and nurses at all levels.
