Abstract

Knowledge of the biological sciences is an integral part of nursing care and hence an important component of the Bachelor of Nursing (BN) course. Although bioscience content has important relevance to nursing, students traditionally find bioscience difficult (Jordan et al 1999; Wharrad et al 1994) and anxiety-provoking (Nicoll and Butler 1996).
