Description
Summary:Joint appointments, a culture of valuing and fostering student participation in unit activities, and a staff position as education liaison are but a few suggestions to facilitate a climate of learning (2). Bartz and Dean-Baar (6) discuss teaming service with academia, while other authors explore the development of clinical settings where education is a major focus (7,8).\n Comments included "for most situations, the presence of the teacher in the clinical setting should be the gold standard" and "need to have clinical instructors who share the passion for bedside nursing and who have been in the trenches." Some had negative connotations ("careful selection of preceptors is critical," "preceptors should only be used in later semesters of generic nursing programs and/or in graduate programs," "nursing education needs to be extremely careful about giving over our role as clinical faculty to clinical staff," "unable to appropriately supervise students with increased patient loads").
