Rubenfeld and Scheffer (2010) cited Howard Gardner’s list of multiple intelligences in the textbook reading for this week. Review the different categories in the text and write a 2-3 page paper (excluding title page and reference page) that explains how critical thinking and clinical judgment skills can be nurtured in a new nurse who is being mentored by a more experienced nurse by keeping Garner’s list in mind.
◦ Why does it matter if we are aware of the multiple types of intelligence?
◦ Specifically address the linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical, intrapersonal intelligence and at least one other intelligence from his list.
◦ You are encouraged to use examples from your nursing practice that show positive or negative outcomes of mentoring that are related to these differences, and how change could be made to improve the mentoring/learning process.
Follow APA 6th edition formatting for the title page, body of the paper, and reference page. Review the grading rubric below before beginning your paper.
