Abstract

Providing effective nursing professional development that meets the needs of a variety of learners, promotes critical thinking skills, and results in application in clinical practice is challenging. The flipped classroom was successfully implemented at a large Midwestern teaching hospital to address these challenges. This article explores flipped classroom exemplars including descriptions of prework, active learning strategies, and recommendations for successful implementation of the flipped classroom.
