Learning Objective #1: Gain the nursing skills using YPU method
Learning Objective #2: Discuss how to study the nursing skills by oneself

This report outlines the experiences and skills, gained through practice training and reviews the practical training teaching methods of basic nursing skills. Students self-evaluated their level of basic nursing skills learned through practical training using the "basic skills evaluation checklist", designed by faculty. These results were then used for data analysis. The relationship between this data and previous teaching approaches and coursework were examined, confirming the need to provide a learning environment for student which not only allows them to use the skills they have learned in clinical situations, but also to critically evaluate and reflect on their own skills. YPU method is an educational program which has the following structure. Before the basic nursing skills class, students watch the video to have some images and some questions about the nursing skills. After that, students take some classes by teacher and then solve their questions. After the classes, students practice nursing skills using the video tapes and self-evaluated checklist. Finally, they gain nursing skills.
