Research focusing on blended learning for foundations of nursing courses is limited. The purpose of this study was to compare course performance outcomes when teaching foundations using blended learning compared to face-to-face instruction and to evaluate learner satisfaction and perceptions of effectiveness regarding blended learning. No significant differences were found in exam or final course grades between the two modalities. Most participants perceived blended learning as effective in meeting the course objectives and rated the course as either excellent, very good, or good. Blended learning was a useful strategy for teaching foundations of nursing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
