He will guide clinical judgments, evidence-based care, and advanced theories in mental care units due to his clinical and staff development experience. His mentorship will aid in eliminating the gap between theory and application in practice. A study by Hansen and Dysvik (2022) highlights that a critical role in eliminating the theory-practice gap is played by clinical educators in making nurses competent practitioners.
