Continuing education and staff development specialists often collaborate with nursing faculty and managers in evaluating the critical thinking behaviors of new staff and nursing students in clinical judgments. The results of this phenomenological study provide insights into specific objective criteria of critical thinking behaviors of domain-specific knowledge, critical reflection, critical thinking competency, intellectual virtues, and action involvement and improvement.
