Abstract
Facilitating the development of critical thinking in beginning nursing students is challenging and exciting. Peer review through student-led clinical rounds can be an effective way to promote students' critical thinking in communicating assessment data and identifying client strengths and problems. Nineteen beginning baccalaureate nursing students participated in a peer review clinical round experience and were then asked to describe their critical thinking. Strengths of using the peer-led rounds include promotion of active student learning and encouragement of collaboration among peers.
