Nursing students' learning styles: a comparison of degree and non-degree student approaches to studying.

This research utilised the Lancaster inventory to investigate the approaches to studying of a group of nurse learners (n = 32) from a college of nursing and midwifery and a group of nursing undergraduates (n = 23) from an institution of higher education. It was hoped that the research would cast some light on whether the two groups approach their studying in similar or different ways, since these approaches may dictate success in educational ventures. The results indicated no statistically significant differences between the two learner groups' approaches to studying.
