Week 2 Discussion 1 Principles of teaching and learning

As you view the video about clinical teaching and learning, there are a number of things to consider. Students need and want opportunities to learn and participate as part of the healthcare team. If ignored or not included in patient care, they become frustrated and feel cheated by the clinical experience. The nursing faculty should guide the clinical learning process, assist students with administering medications and treatments when needed, and ensure that students are learning. Students view the RN preceptor as the clinical expert and role model, as well as the person nursing students look up to.

Identify the problems and challenges presented in the video and discuss how you would respond to and handle the problems and challenges from 1) the faculty role 2) the RN preceptor role, and 3) the student role.
