Evaluation of the clinical learning experiences among undergraduate nursing students at the University of Nairobi school of nursing

Abstract

In today,s challenging world,the nurses' active participation in planning the care of patients is vital.Nursing education today must prepare nurses for the future,as health care is dynamic,non-static,and constantly in a state of change.There is a great need for both strong theoretical background and an equal amount of hands-on clinical experience as it is necessary to expand the view of a nurse's role.This is only possible when the nurses are knowledgeable and well informed.Studies worldwide have found gaps in translating the classroom theory into practice in the clinical nursing environment.This study sought to find the perceptions of the Nairobi University's undergraduate nursing student's perceptive as relates to the clinical learning environment,task involvement,participation and opportunities,feedback,clinical supervision and support.
