Background:
Dedicated education unit (DEU) clinical education models are an innovative, evidence-based approach to create effective learning environments for students. These models have been implemented primarily in acute care settings.
Problem:
The gap between nursing education and clinical practice in rural health care settings is a growing concern, compounded by a nursing faculty shortage and decreased availability of clinical sites.
Approach:
A descriptive study design was used to assess the outcomes of a DEU model of clinical practice with associate degree nursing students in a rural primary care clinic, using registered nurses (RNs) who were prepared as clinical nurse teachers.
Outcomes:
Associate degree nursing students experienced the RN role in primary care, worked with nurses who wanted to teach them, and improved their nursing skills.
Conclusions:
The DEU model is a positive clinical teaching pedagogy for students and staff nurses.

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
