Healthcare professionals consider lifelong learning to be an element of professionalism within nursing practice and baccalaureate nursing programs have embodied lifelong learning attributes within program outcomes. The federal government has also called for higher education institutions to build more points of student assessment to evidence that program outcomes are being met throughout student learning experiences (Billings & Halstead, 2016). Careful attention to how program outcomes are measured and achieved is essential for prelicensure baccalaureate nursing programs and for their accrediting bodies. This quantitative, correlational research design examined the relationships between self-directed learning abilities and lifelong learning orientation in the prelicensure baccalaureate nursing student population. Through the use of a survey, lifelong learning orientation and self-directed learning abilities among the four domains of interpersonal communication, planning and implementing, self-monitoring, and learning motivation were examined. Results indicated strong positive correlations between self-directed learning abilities and lifelong learning orientation among prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students. Through the assessment of self-directed learning abilities of baccalaureate nursing students this research informs nurse educators regarding curricular implementation of teaching and learning strategies that may foster lifelong learning to evidence program outcomes. Recommendations for nurse educators regarding the implementation of teaching and learning strategies are provided for each domain within the curriculum to meet lifelong learning program outcomes.
