Describe a class in which you were a strategic learner in order to pass a test but did not come away from the class with a deep learning experience.

This week, we will focus on learning and teaching for health promotion. It is important to focus on your learning needs as a student to help understand the learning needs of your future patients. The elements of adult learning and the standard of practice about health teaching and health promotion will be emphasized. The concept of lifelong learning for both nurses and healthcare consumers will be explored.

What is the best way for a nurse to help patients become better learners? How do you become a deep learner yourself?
