An innovative model for clinical teaching.
Using traditional approaches, nursing faculty members may find clinical teaching stressful in today's fast-paced hospital settings. The Clinical Teaching Associate Model, pilot tested by an associate and a baccalaureate degree program in three hospitals, enabled staff nurses to assist faculty members in the direct clinical supervision of students. The benefits for students and faculty members and the potential use of the model to design varied clinical experiences for students are discussed.
