CLINICAL POSTING REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2019-2020
Clinical posting is a vital component and fundamental to nursing students learning which provides them direct, real experience of nursing profession as they participate in routine nursing activities of the ward. Nursing students perceived their clinical learning environment as stressful and anxiety aggravating this includes providing and receiving verbal reports, preparing and administering medication, documenting care appropriately, providing emotional support and patient education, and delivering culturally competent care that respects each patient’s individual beliefs. Working under the direct supervision of a classroom teacher, the clinical experience teacher candidate observes, assists in the classroom in basic instructional roles such as tutoring, mentoring and teaching lessons to individuals, pairs, and groups of students and instructs individual students and small groups as well as the entire class of students. During their clinical posting students are able to understand the concepts of nursing practice & apply the holistic approach in meeting the health needs of individual in a scientific manner, and also develop skill in meeting the basic needs of an individual in a scientific way.
