This is concerning because of
increased demands on the instructor during clinical, increasing size of clinical groups, and the increasing acuity of patients,
all of which impact the quality of the educational experience for the nursing students. It is recommended students are
allowed sufficient opportunities to practice and have their skill performance assessed prior to entering the clinical setting.
This is beneficial to the nursing students, and it is also beneficial to the patient that the student has already practiced and
been assessed prior to providing patient care.
