Clinical Teaching in Nursing (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Based on the authors' research into clinical teaching in nursing, this book adopts an approach that considers the context in which clinical teaching takes place. The cycle of events in the preparation for and follow-up of practice is seen in the context of socialization from student to nurse. The book applies the concepts of the clinical-learning cycle to clinical teaching, and suggests a style of professional practice that students can learn to adopt. Clinical teaching is regarded as a specialized field of practice, with skills that are different from classroom teaching. Examples of commonly encountered problems invite readers to think through their responses to a situation before proceeding to a suggested course of action.
