Learner-Centered Teaching Is Nurse-Centered Caring

Daybook December 14

When nurse educators care for learners as they care for patients,
they shape how the next generation will care for the world.
Patient-centered care becomes student-centered teaching.
“The students are our patients now.”

---

If we teach with care, patience, and presence—
the way we care for patients—
we will find deep reward in watching our learners succeed
as they care for individuals, families, and communities.

Patient-centered care
becomes student-centered education
for the nurse educator.

What we give to learners today
is what their patients will receive tomorrow.
