Nursing students’ experiences of clinical assessment at a university in South Africa

Abstract

Nursing education includes both classroom and clinical teaching. The clinical teaching was explored through this research. The successful training of the undergraduate nursing students can be attributed to effective clinical teaching and supervision and is determined by both training requirements and services provided. Although there have been several researches on clinical supervision, there is still a dearth of information of the realities of supervision regarding assessment of undergraduate nursing students. The authors’ original thesis formed the foundation of this manuscript. This study aimed to explore and describe nursing students at the undergraduate level experiences regarding clinical supervision.
