Learning nursing process: a group project

The group care plan strategy worked well with a mother and child as clients for a "child" course. It could be used with a pregnant client in a class on childbearing, or with an adult or geriatric person in other classes. Recent graduates of the program or retired or unemployed nurses might serve as models. Because of shrinking resources in nursing education today, efficient and effective strategies that meet learning needs of students and time constraints of faculty are essential. New ways of thinking about teaching are exciting and help to meet educational needs in today's fast-paced environment.
