Globally, nursing education has moved from a hospital-based education to a university-based
education. Though this change resulted in the improvement of the quality of nurses it has also
presented its own challenges. Clinical education, one of the major components of nursing
education, was adversely affected by the reduction in the amount of time and the quality of
clinical placements. In order to combat these challenges, innovative models on clinical
education were developed with the objective to produce nurses that can deliver quality care to
patients in an evolving health sector.
