Learning Styles of Staff Nurses in Selected Clinical Areas of Practice

Abstract

The learning styles of staff nurses were investigated in this descriptive study using Kolb's Learning Style Inventory. The sample consisted of 52 registered nurses working in the various clinical areas of pediatrics, medical-surgical, intensive care, labor and delivery, neonatal intensive care, and the operating room. The setting was a large medical center located in a metropolitan southeast city of the United States. Nurses overall demonstrated a concrete learning style, yet differences in learning style emerged among nurses grouped by age, clinical practice area, and years of work experience in the clinical area. Keywords: Learning curves; Theses.
