Recall Rummy: learning can be fun.
BACKGROUND
Nurse educators are continuously seeking creative methods to teach nursing skills. Continuing education programs have adapted and used television game show themes as effective teaching strategies.


METHODS
The traditional card game of rummy has been modified into a creative learning technique for entertaining and reinforcing skill techniques for nurses practicing in a clinical setting.


CONCLUSIONS
Imagination and creativity are important assets for planning and teaching skills that relate to the practice of nursing. Recall Rummy presents one such approach to teaching nursing skills.
