OVERVIEW
Clinical Education in Prelicensure Nursing Programs: Results
from an NLN National Survey, 2009 by Pamela Ironside, PhD, RN, FAAN,
ANEF, and Angela McNelis, PhD, RN, both associate professors at
Indiana University School of Nursing in Indianapolis; Dr. Ironside
is also director there of the Center for Nursing Education Research.
Dr. McNelis heads up the school's Office of Undergraduate Special
Programs. Clinical experiences are a critical part of prelicensure
nursing education and are widely considered to be vital to the preparation
of a competent nurse workforce, ready and able to provide safe,
quality care. However, lack of quality sites, lack of faculty qualified
to teach on-site, and restrictions of the number of students or
other limitations imposed by clinical agencies align to create barriers
to effective clinical education in pre-licensure nursing programs.
That is a key finding of the NLN's survey on clinical education
of 2,386 nurse educators, representing all types of RN nursing programs
in all 50 United States. Results reflect the views of many leading
nurse educators, who contend that advancements in clinical education
are essential to easing the nationwide nursing shortage.
