Wow, these modules look great--what a wonderful resource for nurse educators! Thanks so much for sharing, Karen. When I graduate at the end of the summer, I may be interested in enrolling in some (if not all) of these modules. Have any other educators out there had a chance to complete any of these yet? If so, what do you think of them?
