Promoting Authentic Learning for Our Students

Probably more than any other profession, nursing has recognized that "learning by doing" is one of the most effective ways to learn. Historically, educating nurses was accomplished through highly structured apprenticeship models at training schools. Fortunately, we have moved away from that model, and nursing education is now appropriately situated in colleges and graduate schools. Yet we have not lost sight of the value of learning by doing, and largely thanks to the Internet, we now have at our disposal a variety of communication, visualization, and simulation technologies that provide students with authentic learning experiences that promote creativity, experimentation, and real-world problem solving.
