Four tools were used to collect data: The first tool: Critical Thinking Knowledge Questionnaire, the second tool: California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory, the third tool: Critical Thinking Skill Questionnaire and the fourth tool: Self-Learning Package Attitude Questionnaire. Results: There were improvements in the levels of dispositions and skills regarding critical thinking among studied intern-nurses in both study and control groups throughout immediate post and follow up phases from the preprogram phase. There were statistically significant positive correlations between levels of critical thinking knowledge, disposition and skills of the studied intern-nurses. Conclusion: The training program was effective. There were general improvements in the levels of critical thinking knowledge, dispositions, skills and attitude toward self-learning package. Recommendations: Nursing staff and nursing management need to work together to provide a conductive atmosphere for critical thinking and innovation.
