**3. Conclusion**

This chapter has provided a brief description of the various teaching learning strategies in nursing education. With rapid advancements in the field of science and technology, nursing is a profession where, life long learning has to take place in order to stay updated. This places a demand on student nurses to widen their horizon of learning than getting self satisfied with what is only taught in the classroom [28]. In a systematic review [55], the authors rightly pointed out that, life long learning strategies must be incorporated in the nursing profession as it will not only enhance the overall knowledge, skills and core competencies of a nurse; but will directly lead to improved quality of patient care. All nurse educators and faculty must deem it the need of the hour to enable students to develop a positive attitude towards life long learning and also use a solid evidence-base to implement it. Nurse leaders who are responsible for planning the nursing curriculum should also place emphasis on the need for change in the syllabi if required.
