Abstract
This session describes how writing across curriculum strategies have enhanced nursing student comprehension of complex pathophysiology concepts through the use of four consistent writing prompts. Students effectively synthesize a review of literature, make relevant associations within and outside of nursing through the use of small group writing and in-class presentation.
