title: New pedagogy for maternity nursing education.
abstract: Baccalaureate nursing faculty sought new ways to teach maternity nursing to expose health care practices that affect, define, and limit women's experiences of reproductive health care. By blending science, story, and spirituality within a feminist philosophy, the faculty created an atmosphere of chaos that transformed the classroom and clinical experiences of students. The students' awakened engagement with maternity nursing practice was evidenced by their connection to woman-centered care issues, and passing rates on the National Council Licensing Examination remained between 97-100%, indicating adequate learning of standard core content.
