[The effective approaches of clinical nursing education]

Nursing is indeed a practice discipline with experiential learning in clinical practice areas comprising an overwhelming portion of a Nursing Student's education. The statement is used to provide a basis for discussion of some issues involved in relation to clinical nursing education. However the lack of substantial research in the area of clinical nursing education would suggest that this 'heart' of the nursing student's professional education has long been ignored. The purpose of this study is to critically review and analysis then suggest effective approaches of clinical nursing education. First, the curriculum can be developed by faculty consistently. Curriculum design begins with the writing of philosophy and the selection of objectives for the program. The philosophy must include a statement of beliefs and intrinsic values about human being, nursing and teaching-learning process. Second, faculty practice can be narrowed practice-theory gaps. Third, clinical teaching strategies can be used many different methods in order to facilitate development of clinical judgement and decision making. Fourth, clinical teacher's roles can influence student's learning attitude and intrinsic value; relating to students as mature individuals; creating an atmosphere where in the student felt comfortable approaching the instructor; providing support crisis situations. Fifth, clinical nursing evaluation can be developed the integrated models.
