The challenge for an educator in a hospital is to provide for the learning needs of a diverse group of practitioners within the hospital that includes nurses who range in experience from advanced beginners to clinical experts. The purpose of this research project was to explore, describe, and compare learning styles and preferences of nurses in two areas of nursing practice: critical care and medical-surgical care. There are multiple facets of learning styles that can be assessed and applied to learning situations. Identifying learning styles may be beneficial to the nurse in order to assist with directing one's own learning but the research did not demonstrate a correlation between learning style, learning preferences or learning outcomes. This study included 107 nurses from critical care and medical-surgical care units at a hospital in western North Carolina. Participants completed the VAK learning styles inventory and selected from list three preferred learning methods. The majority demonstrated a preference for visual learning. Nurses from both practice areas chose skills demonstration as the most preferred learning method. This study failed to demonstrate any links or patterns associated with learning style and learning preferences for education methods for hospital specific education.

The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
