Nursing care of children and their families course includes basic procedures that are needed to provide safe nursing care of hospitalized children before starting the hospital clinical training. Recording all procedures and downloaded in the blackboard system is considering. Evidence of how effective educational material delivered to enhance undergraduate clinical practice through e-learning is lacking and empirical research is needed.
