description Background This study aimed to assess the readiness toward flipped learning (FL) among novice nursing students in fundamental nursing care in Puducherry, South India.  Methodology A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 176 first-year B.Sc. Nursing students from three private nursing colleges by purposive sampling technique. In theory and practical classes, the students were taught fundamental nursing procedures such as oral medication, intramuscular injection, peripheral intravenous cannulation, and nasogastric tube feeding as FL. The study was conducted from November 2021 to March 2022. The responses were collected using the Nursing Students' Readiness for Flipped Classroom (NSR-FC) scale with four domains such as personal, technological, environmental, and pedagogical readiness. Pearson correlation and chi-square tests were used to analyze data by incorporating IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results Among 176 nursing students, 73.9% were aged between 17 and 19 years, the majority (76.7%) were females, and 98% of them used mobile phones to access online FL content. Of the novice nursing students, 69.88% agreed, 27.84% strongly agreed, and 2.27% were in a neutral state for readiness to adopt FL in their nursing curriculum with a mean (standard deviation, SD) value of 77.02 (6.27). Among the four domains of readiness, a positive correlation was found between personal with technological readiness (P = 0.001; r = 0.446) and pedagogical with personal readiness (P = 0.003; r = 0.223). Statistically, a significant association was found between students’ readiness toward FL with the occupation of the head of the family, gadgets used to access the FL materials, and Wi-Fi/internet availability in the institutions with a P-value <0.05. Conclusions The study showed highly positive readiness for FL among nursing students in nursing subjects. It can be leveraged with educational institutions' environmental and technological support by properly utilizing mobile devices, computer laboratories, and access to the internet/Wi-Fi for students from their entry level to enhance FL.
