  • Identification of the expanded clinical experience areas mandated by the directive.
  • Assessment of the impact on clinical teacher allocation and retraining needs.

Main Results:

  • The primary challenge lies in organizing the expanded scope of practical experience for nursing learners.
  • Learners now require clinical exposure in maternity, community, mental health, psychiatry, and geriatric care, in addition to traditional medicine, surgery, and pediatrics.
  • Reallocation and retraining of clinical teachers from acute care to specialist areas are essential.

Conclusions:

  • Effective implementation of the 1979 Nursing Qualifications Order hinges on addressing practical training logistics.
