Nursing has now moved into a competency-based curriculum. The global demand for nurses is expected to rise to 9 million in the 2030. Hence, the profession needs a lot of dedicated and inspired minds with sacrifice and accountability. Students in general have a variety of learning styles that aids their learning process. This chapter focusses on the various strategies that nurse educators and faculty should adopt, to help students cope with the demands of the profession. There are a variety of strategies that can be used, however, each one has its own pros and cons. Nursing curriculum is centered on producing professionals who are committed to caring real-life clients. It's the duty of nurse leaders, managers and educationists in sculpting young minds to work towards making a significant difference in the lives of others.
