Solving problems in nursing? Integrating problem based learning within the pre-registration nursing curriculum

Report of a CELT project on supporting students through innovation and researchIn response to a wider agenda, this innovation aimed to develop a Problem Based Learning approach to support teaching and learning in pre-registration nursing at Level 1. RN/ DipHE students on 3 University sites were divided into 25 groups, each with an average of 11 members. Each group was allocated 1 staff member who facilitated them for 15 contact hours per student, to work on 3 enigmas. Evaluation of the project suggests that both staff and students further developed a wide range of necessary skills within a supportive project structure
