Objective　To analyze the application effect of day checklist model combined with fault finding and error correction method in the teaching of new nurses in neurology department. Methods　A total of 42 new neurology nurses accepted in the department of neurology from January 2019 to June 2020 were selected in the study and they were divided into control group and study group. The conventional group was given the conventional teaching method

while the study group was given the day checklist model combined with fault finding and error correction method

both of which were taught for 3 months. Assessment performance of theoretical knowledge and operational skills before and after teaching

critical thinking ability before and after teaching and satisfaction with the teaching after teaching in neurology nursing were compared between the two groups. SPSS 25.0 was used for t test and rank sum test. Results　After teaching

assessment performance of theoretical knowledge and operational skills

the 7 dimensions of critical thinking ability scores and the total scores were higher than those before teaching

and the study group did better than the control group (P < 0.05). There were significant differences between the 2 groups of new nurses in the distribution of satisfaction with teaching (P < 0.05)

and the total satisfaction rate of the study group (100.00%) was higher than that of the control group (80.96%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion　Using the method of day checklist model combined with fault finding and error correction method in the teaching of new nurses in the neurology department can improve their assessment results

enhance their critical thinking ability and improve the teaching satisfaction.
