Abstract:
Resistant learners are one of the many challenges critical care educators face. The educator must be aware of the elements that contribute to learner resistance and work effectively to eliminate them.

Managing resistant learners is never easy, but when the educator is armed with the right tools, their negative impact can be reduced or eliminated.
