Learning objectives are important to illustrate what an expected students learning will be. Learning objectives are further solidified when they are clearly communicated to avoid misinterpretation (McDonald, 2018). Stated instructional objectives better promote learning experiences to attainment of the objectives (Orr et.al,2022). Here are 3 learning objective examples that focus on classroom, laboratory, and clinical.
Classroom: The student nurse learner will examine and distinguish signs and symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia.
Laboratory: The student nurse learner will ensure accuracy in data collection for correct evaluation results.
Clinical: After completing this course, the student learner will learn how to promote patient safety by following strict protocols for blood draw specimen collection and handling.
