clinical teaching and learning

535 Post 1

As you view the video about clinical teaching and learning, there are a number of things to consider. Students need and want opportunities to learn and participate as part of the healthcare team. If ignored or not included in inpatient care, they become frustrated and feel cheated by the clinical experience. The nursing faculty should guide the clinical learning process, assist students with administering medications and treatments when needed and ensure that students are learning. Students view the RN preceptor as the clinical expert and role model, as well as the person nursing students look up to.

Identify the problems and challenges presented in the video and discuss how you would respond to and handle the problems and challenges from 1) the faculty role 2) the RN preceptor role, and 3) the student role.

Nursing faculty is responsible for creating an environment that is conducive to learning and accommodates the multiple learning styles and abilities of students. As a nurse educator, how might you design learning experiences for class and clinical environments to promote positive and effective learning for all students? Do you think students should use their preferred learning styles and perhaps risk becoming rigid and unable to learn in different ways (should a situation demand a different learning style)? Or should educators encourage students to be open to different methods of learning, moving them away from their comfort zones?
