This quantitative research was conducted to examine the relationship between the level of critical thinking skills with practical learning and theoretical learning among new nurses serving. Quantitative data collection was done using the method of questionnaires. Results obtained using the ANOVA method prove that gender factors show significant data compared to age and marital status factors where the results for gender factors are [F (1, 132) = 3.795, p = 0.054, partial eta squared = .028] with alpha value is (? ? 0.05) while for age factor is [F (1, 132) = 0.428, p> 0.05, partial eta squared = .003] and marital status factor is [F (1, 132) = 0.007, p = 0.933, partial and squared = .000]. Further from the results obtained, it is shown that gender factors play an important role in the relationship of critical thinking skill levels. The implication from the findings of this study is to take into account gender factors by linking age factors and marital status in creating a balanced level of critical thinking.
