Dear Abby,
A "critical analysis" is "an appraisal based on careful analytical
evaluation" (Dictionary.com,
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=critical+analysis&r=67).
In nursing, it means you have to apply critical thinking when
reviewing a research given to you - or more than one - in order to
analyse and evaluate its validity.
Instructions are provided here:

And an example for an essay applying critical analysis is :
Emily Pijl Zieber "Critical Analysis - On Healing, Wholeness, and the
Haelan Effect, by Janet F. Quinn" (For Nursing 251, Langara College,
July 24, 1997)
