Most literature appears to suggest that PBL method helps with not only critical thinking and problem-solving, but a variety of skills. Although other methods are known for enhancing critical thinking, it appears most of the literature feels PBL goes further.

It can be argued that PBL appears to out do any other method, but one should be aware of the whole process and willing to adjust and reevaluate the methods intentions. Although nursing is use to the tradition lecture-base learning, the idea of gaining various skills at once, is appealing (Shin & Kim, 2013).
