Abstract

Abstract: The transition to "thinking like a nurse" can present challenges to contemporary student nurses. Nurse educators are called to provide meaningful learning experiences to students with diverse learning needs and promote critical thinking application. Multiple stakeholders encourage nursing faculty to innovate their teaching practices and reflect on the process to promote the life-long learning necessary in professional nursing. Universal design for instruction uses multiple pedagogies, resources, and technologies to create accessible learning environments for all students. This article highlights the evolution of a case exemplar course design in a fundamentals nursing course that utilizes universal design for instruction principles in nursing education.
