Abstract 

Adult learners entering nursing schools come from diverse backgrounds and have various characteristics and motivations for learning. To produce competent clinicians at the end of the program of study, nursing faculty must approach the learning process equipped with teaching strategies that are based on adult learning principles and educational theory. One method of assisting new faculty with acquiring this set of knowledge, skills, and abilities is to provide an orientation course that includes this content with opportunities to practice new learning with colleagues and the course facilitator.
