Research design:

Researchers will utilize the mixed-methods explanatory sequential research design which

consists of collecting quantitative data and then collecting qualitative data to help explain or elaborate

on the quantitative results. The mix method approach enables the researcher to gather quantitative

data that pertains to the determination of the level of learning in the HyFlex modality and the level of

clinical competency of student nurses. In addition, the qualitative data will provide a more thorough and

meaningful understanding of the experiences that student nurses have in the clinical environment when

utilizing the HyFlex modality as an approach to education.
