It is a challenge for nurse educators to prepare the Nursing students to think critically and act skillfully. To assess the critical thinking level of Nursing students. By using descriptive survey design all 89 II year B.Sc.Nursing students were selected with sample free technique. Critical thinking ability of the students was assessed with the standardized Cornell Critical Thinking Test Level Z. Most of the students were females and in the age group of 18 and 19 years. Majority of the students (74.15%) had critical thinking score in the range of 11-20. Mean critical thinking score was found to be 17.06±3.49 with the maximum score of 52. There was no association between their base line variables and critical thinking score.
