There are many books on teaching and learning strategies for higher education, but few contain information on how to create these strategies and integrate them into the course syllabi. Creative Teaching Strategies for Pre-Licensure Nursing Curricula is a collection of teaching strategies for pre-licensure nursing curricula. These alternate teaching-learning strategies appeal to students who want to engage in the learning process, rather than listen to lectures. These strategies incorporate the sciences, arts and humanities to provide a more holistic approach to learning and to facilitate the students' understanding of the broad scope of nursing. They are applicable for the beginning nursing student and the student nearing graduation and licensure. Integrating these strategies into the curricula not only enhances student learning and improves programmatic outcomes, but can also improve student satisfaction with courses and instructors.
