Conclusion
Clinical leadership can be a valuable tool for bridging the gap between
theory and practice in nursing education. Theoretical knowledge
should be learned by doing instead of viewing within a practical part of
the education process. To be competent is a concept which is defined in
different ways by different scholars with no universal definition.
However, the vision is to integrate theory and practice in nursing for forthcoming nurses. Therefore, stakeholders in universities and health
care organisations have to focus on the learning needs in nursing to facilitate
graduation ofwell skilled nurses. Skills within clinical leadership
and nursing management could visualise, clarify and simplify nursing
activities, which facilitates transition from student to nurse.
