title: Teaching undergraduate nurses nursing phenomena.
abstract: Nursing phenomena, complex and dynamic conceptual building blocks, are the basis of our nursing language. Students have difficulty understanding what nursing phenomena are and how to link them to practice and research. The authors describe incremental experiential learning strategies that were used to help students learn and apply the basic concepts of their nursing language.
