The Leadership, Excellence, and Research in Nursing Education (LEaRN) Lab is dedicated to advancing teaching, learning, and nursing practice through innovative educational scholarship and research. Bringing together nursing educators, students, and community partners, we explore how nurses learn, develop, and thrive across educational and practice settings.

Grounded in collaboration and strong relationships, we are committed to generating knowledge that supports nursing students, educators, and the profession from the classroom to clinical practice and beyond.
