organize and carry out the education process
ASSURE Model

diverse audience of learners—patients
and their family members, nursing
students, nursing staff, and other agency personnel. - Despite the varied levels of basic nursing
school preparation, legal and

educator role integral to all nurses. - The new educational paradigm focuses on
the learner learning.

– The nurse becomes the “guide on the
side.”
