Critical thinking in general has never been one of one of my strong suits, but I believe that out of the 7 characteristics provided by Ruggiero the one that represents my greatest strength is that I tend to think before acting. I was taught early on that thinking before doing will, one help in success and two lead you on a better path in life. Acting impulsively can be very pleasing and come with an adrenaline rush, but in the end did you really make the right choice for yourself. My father is a perfect model for someone who acts without thinking, yes he has had much success in his life, but due to his impulsive behavior there has been many failures to follow those acts that have ended in success. In multiple situations in my life I have had…
Critical thinking for some people is considered, as a negative word, but it is not true. It is related with our cognitive ability and how we analyze situations that affected our decisions. The intellectual perseverance to pursue insights or truths despite obstacles or difficulties is my strongest critical thinking trait. I deem it is vital to face any situation in the life. Unfortunately, worst events are presented constantly on daily life.…
From mathematics to art, I immerse myself in time. A greater understanding of life and mind is the knowledge of a deep thinker, as am I. I tend to overthink situations, but that alone opens opportunities and options that can be analyzed. Everything is connected in life, whether it be from the universe to the mind or from nature to time. In mathematical terms, anything can be analyzed or calculated with numbers.…

Most career opportunities require critical thinking and problem solving as a primary skill necessary for both senior and entry level positions. Hiring, is an incredibly expensive process, which when added to the relatively low retention rate of new hires makes it critical to minimize unnecessary training and choose the candidates who are most adaptable, and therefore more likely to succeed and be retained. Critical thinking provides individuals with the necessary flexible intellectual skills needed to adapt to the modern ever-changing information driven business environment. Those who attain these skills are more able to adapt and tend to become productive quicker, lowering the ramp up costs. Of further benefit is the talent of modifying…
I will first start out by introducing the person I will be discussing in the second part of this mathematics project to finish up the semester. I am going to introduce, my hard-working, dedicated, and loving fiancé, Melanie. Melanie is tall, blonde, and the prettiest girl that I know. I personally chose her because I have seen firsthand the amount of time, effort, and sacrifices she has made to get to the point in nursing school that she is at now. I don’t tell her this enough, but I am so proud of where she is in life and the amount of work she does on a daily basis to accomplish her goals.…
In the first perspective it explains that you, as a person should focus on self improvement and become more self reliant. I honestly think as an opinion you would need to keep boosting people's spirits instead of being self centered because you don't want to make them feel good. Everyone has their own traits, personality, and characteristics, but if you don't care about other people, it shows you that you are careless about the good people on this earth. A strength of the first perspective is that you can get things accomplished and succeed in goals in your lifetime.…
Skills and abilities diverge into two categories: personal and social capabilities, and creative and critical thinking capabilities. Whilst personal and social capabilities evolve around relationships and personal understanding, creative and critical thinking apply knowledge and creativity to thinking and learning. My personal and social skills and abilities include working independently, time management, and self acknowledgement. I work efficiently independently, but also thrive in collaboration as I am proficient at negotiating and interacting with others.…
Why Critical Thinking Is Important Critical thinking is not only a trait everyone should possess, it is essential for any business to thrive and succeed. While some people may have similar believes and views as you, it’s important to collaborate those ideas and believes in order to see the bigger picture. For me, in the Army, it critical to be able to think critically. There are times where you must make very logical and accurate decisions very quickly. There are also times where you must use your experience and expertise to make informed decisions.…
Critical thinking is the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances (Elder & Paul, 2013). The critical thinking ability of health care professionals can have a direct effect on patient safety (Robert & Petersen, 2013). The process of critical thinking in my opinion was not used by the RN in this scenario. Patient centered care was not given and patient priorities were not established such as patient's new onset of nausea (Harrington & Terry, 2013). Also, the RN showed poor decision making along with poor problem solving, by offering to give the patient more pain medication.…
Allow me to explain. In the beginning of my essay, I discussed how healing occurs through writing (Nash's point). I did this by sharing my dilemma of feeling conflicted between two different priorities: romance and school. My first perspective was self-reflective, because writing allowed for my brain’s thinking to slow down and process my point of view.…
I decided to choose this article because I wanted to learn more about how nurses use critical thinking in their careers. I thought the study that was performed was really interesting and I wanted to know how the results faired after the study was done. We learned a lot about critical thinking at the beginning of the semester in chapter nine of our book. We were taught that becoming a critical thinker involves more than just developing skills, that there are characteristics that a critical thinker must possess. This article contributes to what we learned in chapter nine because it goes to show that even with all the knowledge in the world one must use their judgment and critical thinking to come up with the best possible answer for their patient.…
Answer Regarding Facilitator: According to the class syllabus, the facilitator is committed to the students by being available, having a quick response time frame, is interactive with the students, and giving feedback along with grading. The facilitator is available during posted v-camp office hours and by scheduling a phone call, chat, etc. to assist students (Bethel University, 2017). The availability of a facilitator is important to the success of students. Institutions with minimum or no facilitator availability tend to have a lower retention rate, than those with larger and more dependable facilitator availability (Pfund, Rogan, Burnham, & Norcross, 2013).…
To me critical thinking is thinking outside the box, weighing out different options and consequences, and then choosing the best option. I do believe that I have found my purpose. After many years of doing things my way, to no avail, I sought a better way to live my life. I thought critically about my life, and the direction it was taking, and I knew a change was needed. After gathering the facts, thinking upon those facts, and seeing the potiential outcome, I gave my life to Christ.…
“Some people think that doctors and nurses can put scramble eggs back into the shell” Dorothy Fisher (n.d). The miracle worker, the rescuer, the divine feeling of hope to be cared for by that special worker the nurse. After several years of hard training, dedication and devotion, the nurse is given the task to provide care for the sick and needy. However, in order to be a successful nurses, the use of critical thinking skills have to be established. This is evident as with the introduction of the nursing profession by Florence Nightingale.…
