Overview

Clinical Nursing Education: Current Reflections was conceived as a unique resource for seasoned and novice faculty as well as for graduate students on the nurse educator track. The book aims to help the profession re-imagine clinical education, historically, the essential core of nursing education, and examine the impact of new models for clinical education in an increasingly complex environment of health care delivery. It also provides readers a variety of reflections on simulation, performance evaluation, student experiences, and faculty responsibilities related to these critical aspects of a nurse's education. The book grew out of the editors' experiences as part of the NLN's Task Group on Clinical Education, Blue Ribbon Panel on Research in Nursing Education, and Think Tank on Transforming Clinical Nursing Education.
