"Research in nursing education is critical as educators embark on new clinical redesign models and explore innovative teaching practices to better prepare students for the complexity of our healthcare systems and to promote quality, safe patient care environments. As the emerging technologies and new teaching approaches are integrated into our nursing curricula and nursing education is revolutionized, evidence-based teaching practices and student learning outcomes must be studied."
