But nothing happens or changes. For clinical placements, the qualities of the nurse teacher should enhance student learning [13, 14]. Few participants were familiar with goal-oriented efforts directed towards ensuring quality in clinical education in aged care home placements. A few participants questioned whether limited placement capacity would compromise placement quality: Clinical education capacity in aged care home placements is a real challenge. https://doi.org/10.18261/ISSN1892-2686-2015-04-05.

In Norway, as in most EU countries, no specific educational requirements or national standards guide the quality of clinical practice placements and mentoring practices [35]. Moreover, some participants proposed that students learning in clinical education needed to be emphasized and that the RN mentors pedagogical competencies needed to be improved beyond their supervisory skills: I wish we had a system where the RN mentors learned more about workplace learning, learning in general and supervision.

The final challenge was the lack of a systematic process for improving the quality of nursing students clinical education, especially in aged care homes.

Nursing is a practical profession. A renewed interest in nursing homes as clinical placement settings for nursing students has been prompted by the growing healthcare needs of an ageing population. Report on . We talk about that RN mentors should be required to have supervisory competencies. Moreover, the shortage of RNs could lead to suboptimal placements: There is lower nursing coverage in aged care homes than in other placement sites. Qualitative methods were used to identify themes. So, I do wish there was a way to supervise the students remotely. While the health services have a history of hosting students and are widely accepted as suitable environments for student learning, optimal learning environments are not yet fully developed in aged care homes. Nurses constitute a significant percentage of the health and social workforce, so university nursing programs are essential in preparing a workforce to meet future healthcare needs, including those associated with an ageing population [2]. AIMS OF VISIT: To explore out the physical set up of the institute. Nursing home visits are challenging at any time, and even more so during the pandemic. 02.017.

Calma RK, Halcomb E, Stephens M. The impact of curriculum on nursing students attitudes, perceptions, and preparedness to work in primary health care: An integrative review. The participants reported a range of satisfaction with these assessment instruments. However, no one is taking about the same requirements concerning the nurse teachers following up the students on placement. Suddenly, just weeks before placement, we get notice from an aged care home that cannot take students on placement after all, due to sick leaves, shortages of nurses and so forth. The transcripts were initially coded by the first and last authors, who highlighted segments relevant to the research questions to delineate patterns. However, the effects of linguistically diverse RN mentors on mentorship and assessment practices, as well as on student learning in aged care placement, are not well established. 7.

A case study of selected Norwegian nursing homes found variations in nurse competence and staffing [33], with consequences for students access to RNs. The reliance on aged care staff mentors with limited gerontological expertise, the complexity of teaching strategies within the preceptorship clinical education model, and the need for collaboration between mentors, students and nurse teachers suggest that further investigation is required. In the current regulatory environment, this variability complicates the formation of collaborative legal agreements between the higher education institution and each aged care home. 2017;52:7380.
