•Associate degree nurses must understand and apply knowledge regarding the care of patients with eating disorders.•Flipped classroom method is an effective and student-approved teaching method for increasing knowledge and clinical reasoning skills related to the management of patients with eating disorders.•Associate degree nurse educators should be prepared and encouraged to implement flipped classroom method. Evidence demonstrating that new nurses lack clinical judgment skills prompted a teaching-learning project in an associate degree of nursing (ADN) program. A needs assessment revealed the necessity of increased knowledge related to caring for patients with eating disorders. Constructivism guided the project, which aimed to provide students with an understanding of the three most common eating disorders, including patient care considerations. Teaching-learning occurred through flipped classroom method (FCM) involving textbook readings, a prerecorded lecture, and an unfolding case study. The author utilized standardized test results, pre- post-test results, and anonymous student evaluations to appraise learner understanding and approval. The project demonstrated that FCM increases student knowledge and satisfaction and is an effective teaching strategy for ADN programs. Recommendations include routine FCM training for nurse educators, regular use of FCM in undergraduate nurse education courses, and further research to determine the best strategies to break down barriers to FCM utilization.
