ew graduate nurses often struggle to apply clinical judgment, the outcome of critical thinking and decision making, in the context of complex patient care. [1][2][3] New graduate nurses can provide a higher quality of care, resulting in better patient outcomes, if clinical judgment skills are enhanced. [2][3][4] The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) has reemphasized competency in clinical judgment as a requirement for registered nurse licensure. The NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model describes clinical judgment as a process of recognizing cues, analyzing cues, prioritizing hypotheses, generating solutions, taking actions, and evaluating outcomes. 1 Recognizing cues, an important early aspect of clinical judgment, means that the nurse notices what is happening with the patient, such as changes in vital signs or assessment data. 2 Failure to recognize cues in a deteriorating patient situation can lead to poor outcomes. [5][6][7][8] BackgroundHuman patient simulation activities are used routinely in nursing education in an effort to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application of clinical judgment. 3 Nursing simulation activities range from using simple task trainers for practicing nursing skills, such as wound care, to interacting with high-fidelity, computer-driven manikins or standardized patients that provide real-time feedback in realistic settings. 9 Nursing faculty routinely implement simulation activities to provide opportunities for students to practice critical thinking and clinical judgment. The simulation scenarios include objectives, an environment, background information, and ongoing cues to the actions needed. The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) defines cues as "information provided that helps the participant(s) process and progress through the Author Affiliations: Students (Mss Poledna and Gómez-Morales
