ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: This article describes one school of nursing's successful approach to augmenting Doctor of Nursing Practice students' diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills. METHOD: Faculty convened a taskforce to evaluate the current clinical tracking system to expand the clinical log and develop a formative assessment tool. RESULTS: The clinical log enhancement allowed faculty to assess students' learning, clinical decision making, and readiness for clinical progression throughout the program. CONCLUSION: The expansion of the clinical log system resulted in students' heightened understanding of documentation and clinical practice, and also allowed faculty to comprehensively assess students in diagnostic and clinical reasoning.
