Get your hands dirty! improving student clinical experiences / Paul Logan, Sean R. Clarke - May 2016. - Nursing Management 47 : 5, page 10-12 .
Clinical experiences are an essential component of any nursing education program. Fifty years ago, hospital diploma programs met the needs of the era by producing graduates with substantial experience in delivering care to patients hospitalized in the "home" institution. Today, that model has changed substantially; most nursing students are formally enrolled in college or university programs and become guests of multiple institutions, including tertiary medical centers, community hospitals, home care agencies, and psychiatric facilities. It's at these institutions that they learn the elements of nursing care. Regardless of senior leadership's commitments to supporting local education programs, there are often large variations in the extent to which nursing education is valued by nurse managers and clinical nurses at the unit level. For some time, medical-surgical students in one program had observation experiences on several ICUs as part of their final clinical course dealing with care of the adult patient with complex health problems. This arrangement took shape in response to a large number of students, a relatively small hospital, and a small number of qualified faculty members, among other reasons.
