The global shortage of highly competent nurses has forced healthcare organizations to adapt to various strategies, including rotating nurses to different units, impacting their competency levels. To equip nurses with the needed competencies, the researchers developed the pediatric learning modules and conducted this study to analyze their effectiveness. Researchers employed purposive and random sampling to identify study participants, and utilized a mixed-method design, including Solomon Four Group Design and a narrative approach. A researcher-made evaluation questionnaire, competency checklists, and guide questions for a written narrative were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and factorial analysis of covariance were utilized for data analysis. The outcomes revealed that demographic variables have no effect on knowledge and competence (p > 0.05). It was also discovered that exposure to learning modules enhanced the competence levels of nurses who were inexperienced in the pediatric setting (F = 41.183, df = 1, p = 0.000). Furthermore, results revealed that enhancing knowledge and competencies is not wholly dependent on well-structured educational sessions and training modules, but is also influenced by other factors, including time allocation for module delivery, protected time to practice, and the opportunity to apply new skills in the clinical area.
