title: Defining experiential learning: nurse tutors' perceptions.
abstract: Experiential learning and experiential learning methods have been widely discussed in the nursing education literature. This paper offers some of the findings from a study into nurse tutors' and student nurses' perceptions of experiential learning. In the part of the study described here, 12 nurse tutors were interviewed in depth about the way that they defined experiential learning and experiential learning methods. In this paper, those definitions are compared and contrasted with definitions in the literature and implications for nurse education are identified.
