What is it about?
In this study, we looked at how to help nursing students become better at their clinical work in hospitals. We found that things like working closely with hospitals, having a variety of patients to learn from, clear job descriptions for clinical educators, having good role models, and having experienced faculty educators all play a big role in making students more skilled in their clinical studies. This research can be useful for nursing schools, hospitals, and the government to improve how they teach nursing students and help them become even better at what they do.
