What is a good book for critical thinking?

Published

I start the RN program this fall (yay), and I would love a good book to help me get into good critical thinking mode. Can anyone offer ones they used/liked that helped them? Thanks so much :) P.S. my orientation isn't until May 29th, but I don't know if they will recommend any, just tell us required things and sign us up for classes is what I was told.

I actually ordered Critical Thinking, Clinical Reasoning & Clinicak Judgement by Rosalinda Lefevre off Amazon today. I am hoping it is good, since a working nurse recommended it. Here is the link: Critical Thinking, Clinical Reasoning, and Clinical Judgment: A Practical Approach, 5e (Alfaro-Lefevre, Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgement): Rosalinda Alfaro-LeFevre RN MSN ANEF: 9781437727760: Amazon.com: Books

Specializes in Emergency.

"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu & "The Prince" by Machiavelli. Not nursing texts, but they will give you a general foundation for critical thinking that can be applied to pretty much any situation.
