Abstract

Through a storied format, the authors show how they designed and implemented Pinterest in nursing education for use in clinical, skills laboratory, and the classroom. Supported by The 7 Principals for Good Practice in Education, pins and boards are used to encourage student and faculty contact, reciprocity, cooperation, active learning, feedback, and time management. Moreover, the combination of the 7 Principals and Pinterest addresses the diverse talents and ways of learning identified in millennial students.
