Conclusion

To attain excellence in nursing education there must be faculty commitment to a curriculum that demonstrates flexibility and is a reflection of current societal trends (National League for Nursing, 2007).  Teaching and learning strategies must exhibit creativity through the effective use of technology to achieve enhanced student learning (National League for Nursing, 2007).  Therefore, to meet the changing health care environment, nurse educators may wish to consider the advantages of podcasts and incorporate this device into their curriculum.  Incorporating this initiative into current teaching strategies strives to meet the learning and instructional needs of students and ultimately enhance patient care.
