Background. Clinical judgment is one of the crucial skills necessary for nurses to practice safely and support positive patient outcomes. Inpatient nurse educators of-ten seek engaging and meaningful methods of provid-ing important learning to bedside nurses. Method. A game-based learning (GBL) activity, originally created to enhance clinical judgment in the management of post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) for undergraduate nursing students, was replicated for RNs' continuing education on an obstetric unit. Results. Although less remark-able than undergraduate students' scores, RNs' scores improved significantly (p < .05) for every aspect of the clinical judgment model applied to PPH (recognition, analysis, action, evaluation) from pre-to posttest after using the GBL activity. Conclusion. GBL is effective for enhancing the clinical judgment ability of RNs for spe-cific topics such as PPH and can be utilized to support education across a continuum of expertise for those in, or preparing for, direct patient care.
