Using Transformative Learning Theory to Impact Patient Care

Abstract

Reitha Cabaniss

This article explores the use of Mezirow's Transformative Theory in nursing education. The author offers compelling evidence to broaden the use of this theory by nurse educators in designing curricula while incorporating national standards of practice and safety guidelines. Addressing the disorienting dilemmas facing nursing, letting go of out dated frames of reference can positively impact patient care.
