Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the prerequisites during the training of nursing students is clinical accompaniment by professional nurses, which offers direction and guidance to professional development. Exposure to the Clinical Learning Environment (CLE) affords nursing students with an exclusive background for experiential learning and skills that are rare to be acquired elsewhere. Professional nurses in hospitals and clinics are expected to accompany nursing students in the CLE to assist them in achieving the learning outcomes. However, nursing students at the selected higher education institution indicated dissatisfactions with the conduct of professional nurses during their placement at the CLE. OBJECTIVES: To explore and describe the challenges experienced by the undergraduate nursing students within the CLE in the Capricorn District, Limpopo Province. METHODOLOGY: A qualitative research method was used to explore and describe the challenges experienced by undergraduate nursing students in the CLE in the Capricorn District, Limpopo Province. The population comprised of undergraduate student nurses enrolled for Bachelor of Curationis Degree for the academic year 2017 from the selected higher education institution, with a total number of 258 undergraduate nursing students. Purposive sampling was used to select participants who are more knowledgeable about the problem studied. The third- and fourth-year undergraduate nursing students, who are 122 in total, were selected purposively until data saturation was reached. Four focus group interviews were conducted to collect data. TeschaÌ22́Ơ4́Øs open coding data analysis method was used to analyze data. Ethical considerations and trustworthiness were maintained throughout the study. FINDINGS: Three main themes and sub-themes related to challenges of the undergraduate nursing students within the Clinical Learning Environment emerged, based on the findings of the study namely: Challenges experienced by students; inadequate learning opportunities and Attitudes of professional nurses. These themes further guided the recommendations for the nursing practice, nursing education and for future research. CONCLUSION: A conducive learning environment should be established to enable nursing students to acquire professional knowledge and skills through team-work between nursing education institutions, clinical staff, and multidisciplinary team members. Professional nurses need to support and treat students fairly, irrespective of their educational institution or field of training.

Download or read book Scholarship Reconsidered written by Ernest L. Boyer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting faculty roles in a changing landscape Ernest L. Boyer's landmark book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate challenged the publish-or-perish status quo that dominated the academic landscape for generations. His powerful and enduring argument for a new approach to faculty roles and rewards continues to play a significant part of the national conversation on scholarship in the academy. Though steeped in tradition, the role of faculty in the academic world has shifted significantly in recent decades. The rise of the non-tenure-track class of professors is well documented. If the historic rule of promotion and tenure is waning, what role can scholarship play in a fragmented, unbundled academy? Boyer offers a still much-needed approach. He calls for a broadened view of scholarship, audaciously refocusing its gaze from the tenure file and to a wider community. This expanded edition offers, in addition to the original text, a critical introduction that explores the impact of Boyer's views, a call to action for applying Boyer's message to the changing nature of faculty work, and a discussion guide to help readers start a new conversation about how Scholarship Reconsidered applies today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The clinical experience represents a critical component in nursing education. During the clinical, students apply classroom theory to nursing practice and become socialized into the nursing profession. Because of the current nursing shortage, understanding clinical education is vital and may help in retaining and graduating increased numbers from nursing programs (Vollman, 1989). This multiple-case study is grounded in the literature on the history of clinical education and the perspectives of students, faculty teachers, and clinical staff nurses of nursing clinical education. Narratives of the three students' clinical experiences were constructed from data from interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data from interviews with the faculty teacher and the clinical staff nurses further informed the cases. From these stories, the within-case and the across-case themes emerged. The Hinshaw Socialization Model (1976, 1986) provided a lens through which the central research question and the subquestions were analyzed. The findings reveal that the students experience similar challenges as cited in the previous literature. However, the students all demonstrate perseverance, determination, and coping, which sustain them during the clinical experience. These concepts were not previously explored in the literature. The nursing students in each case recognize that they are in the transitioning process of becoming a nurse as described by Hinshaw (1977, 1986). These narratives will serve to inform future and prospective nursing students about what to expect from clinical experience and how the three students faced challenges. Additionally, clinical staff nurses and nursing program administrators can benefit from reading the stories of the students' perspectives of the clinical.

Download or read book An Examination of the Clinical Learning Experience of Second career Nursing Students in a Dedicated Education Unit written by Irene J. Su and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the experience and self-regulated learning capacities of second-career nursing students who have received clinical teaching in the VA Hospital's dedicated education unit (DEU). Grounded in Kuiper's self-regulated learning (SRL) theory (2005), the study focuses on the apsect of behavioral self-regulation and self-monitoring in which second-career students acquire nursing competency. Under these premises, the clinical practicum setting and the role of nurse preceptors play a critical part in students' learning process. Two unstructured, in-depth focus groups with six and seven participants respectively have been completed. The focus group transcripts are improted for deductive analysis using NVivo 9 computer software. Prior to the focus group, a brief demographic survy was administered anonymously to those who attended the focus group. The focus group dialogues are summarized in a matrix format. Three dominant themes have been identified from the focus group discussion: 1) The DEU is conducive to learning; 2) Real learning takes place in clinical settings; 3) Barriers. The associated threads under each theme are presented. The study concludes that the DEU has a positive impact on the clinical learning experience of second-career students. The development of clinical competency is affected by the self-regulated learning capacity of the students. The environment of the DEU, which provides a conducive physical context, supportive preceptorship, and relevant structure and organization, facilitates self-regulated learning. Placement in the DEU does not provide an answer to all the problems. Therefore, recommendations for practice are made based on the research findings including: 1) Pre-enrollment training as a pre-requisite; 2) Maximizing clinical learning opportunities while enrolled by taking advantage of simulation learning. This study provided preliminary insight into second-career clinical learning. Limitations are also identified and proposals are made to facilitate future research for better understanding of the competency development of this unique student population.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of academic-clinical partnerships on the clinical education experiences of undergraduate nursing students, staff nurses, and clinical faculty. Design: An integrative literature review was conducted using 12 research studies that examined academic-clinical partnerships in healthcare education. Etienne Wenger’s concept of communities of practice was used as the framework for the review. Methods: Studies from peer-reviewed journals published between 2011 and 2015 were included in the literature review. The studies were retrieved from an online database using the search terms “academic partnership,” “clinical partnership,” “nurse education,” “collaboration” and “clinical model.” The findings from the literature review were grouped according to common themes. Findings: Academic-clinical partnerships were shown to result in student, staff and faculty satisfaction. They were also found to make the clinical learning experience more valuable and realistic. Conclusion: The findings suggested that academic-clinical partnerships positively influence nursing student, staff and faculty satisfaction. They also afforded a valuable and contextual learning experience. Relevance to Nursing Education: As the nursing profession continues to evolve parallel to the needs of modern-day healthcare, organizations such as the Institute of Medicine have called for a transformation in the delivery of nursing education. Academic-clinical partnerships have been identified as a means to provide more satisfactory and comprehensive learning experiences.
Download or read book A Retrospective Study of the Clinical Capstone Experience on Perceptions of Practice Readiness in Associate Degree Student Nurses and Perceptors written by Kendra M. Ericson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the Student Transitional Experience into Practice (STEP) study was to explore differences in perceptions of practice readiness between associate degree student nurses and their preceptors after a clinical capstone experience. Significance: Commonalities are reported by student nurses and newly licensed registered nurses facing the daunting task of becoming competent clinical practitioners. The novice nurse has reported that exposure to the workplace setting, professional roles, and acquisition of psychomotor skills aided in their perception of practice readiness and perceived competency level. Nursing educators seek innovative teaching modalities that assist in producing sound, competent generalist graduate nurses. Graduate nurses need to be able to demonstrate theoretical competency on the NCLEX-RN and be able to function independently as a registered nurse once in practice. Method: This STEP study was a pilot quantitative, retrospective design employing secondary data analysis of associate degree nursing students at a multi-campus Midwest community college. Instruments: The Casey-Fink Tool measured perceptions of student nurse practice readiness and their preceptors’ perceptions of student readiness following the final clinical capstone experience. The survey instrument is a three-factor set of correlated subscales: demographics/clinical experience, competency skill performance, and professional identity of the student nurse. Procedure: This STEP study utilized collected data from the Casey-Fink Tool survey data obtained during the spring 2018 clinical capstone course from 100 students and preceptors. Analysis: A descriptive analysis of the Casey-Fink Tool survey data, including exploratory factor analysis, was used to identify subscales and study findings. Nursing Implications: This STEP study advances the future of nursing education by exploring curricular methodologies to aid in the preparedness and practice readiness of the student nurse upon graduation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study explored nursing students' learning experiences during their clinical rotations, with a focus on stress, anxiety and coping. The six student participants were in the last semester of a three-year nursing program in a Montreal CEGEP. Three students reported this experience to be stressful, two described their experience as very positive and one described it as average. Despite different perceptions, all of the study participants identified a variety of stressors. These were classified under four thematic areas: 1) Learning environment, 2) Preparation for clinical and perception of self, 3) Effects of stress and anxiety, and 4) Coping skills. Participants felt that communication and the development of relationships with nurses and medical staff was difficult and stressful. Therefore, as students, they felt they did not belong on the team. Although participants described most of their teachers as approachable, several reported that the constant evaluation process, high and unrealistic expectations teachers had regarding students' knowledge and performance, and lack of autonomy to practice led to heightened states of stress and anxiety. Stress did not have an adverse effect on the performance of the clinical skills as reported by the students, but they acknowledged that it did affect their memory, retention and thinking process negatively. The study yielded new qualitative data on coping methods which students use in special situations in the clinical environments: a combination of emotion-focused and problem-focused coping methods. Emotion-focused methods were used more often. The findings have implications for improving learning and teaching practice and the environment of clinical experience for all concerned: nurse educators, nursing staff and teams, medical and management team and the students.
