Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of blended learning in training of new nurses in ICU. Methods A number of 18 new nurses in 2016 were selected and treated as the control group. Another 24 new nurses in 2017 were selected and assigned to the experimental group. Traditional training was used in the control group while blended learning with online and offline mode was used in the experimental group. Results The scores of paper examination and skill examination in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group（P<0.05）. New nurses in the experimental group had higher autonomous learning ability than that before the train-ing （P<0.05）. The score of satisfaction with the training in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group（t=2.225，P=0.032）. Conclusion The blended learning can be used to train the new nurses and it is helpful to cultivate the ability of autonomous learning of new nurses.
