The aim of this study was to describe an educational program concerning nurses´ patient-teaching work and how it was experienced by the nurses. The program consisted of five sessions, each with a main theme, which explored four main teaching/learning strategies. Interviews were conducted with the nurses and analyzed qualitatively. The analysis revealed three themes: intercollegial learning, increased awareness of pedagogical complexity, and increased preparedness. The study showed that participation in an educational program at work is one strategy by which nurses can become more closely linked with their patient-teaching function, which has direct consequences for practice.
