It tells you exactly what to write about
Have you had a course in nursing research? Usually this kind of assignment isn't done until you've had that course. How in depth does it have to be?
I had a good source I used but can't seem to find it, but these sites cover the basics:

Here's one I recently did on a article that looked at how patients pray. I'll try to attach it.
to critique a research article you need to know what the elements of and process of research are. it is helpful to have a nursing research textbook to help you do this. if you don't have one, you might check your school library for any textbooks or information on nursing research, scientific research or critiquing a research article. the librarian, if you're lucky a research librarian, should be able to help you with this.

basically, in a critique, you are going to either agree or disagree with steps #2 to #5 and explain why you feel that way.

I have to write 4 journal article critiques on varying subjects having to do with nursing. I have not had a problem finding the artivles and getting them approved but I have never had to write a critique and the instructors have not given any guidelines.
Any help on this would be wonderful!
