The characteristics of successful nursing students in the professional experience setting


The recent publication of a study that describes the characteristics of successful and unsuccessful clinical performance of  nursing students provides pertinent information that can be used to develop strategies to recognise and remediate potential at risk students early in their professional experience placements. The authors discuss the difficulties associated with evaluating student performance in practice and proposed that  if there was more clarity regarding unsatisfactory behaviours clinical evaluation of students would be less ambiguous.

the characteristics that differentiated successful from unsuccessful students included communication; level of preparation and functioning in the clinical area. Successful students could build relationships and communicate with staff, patients, clients and colleagues. These students also showed progress, accepted feedback and adapted easily in the  experiential environment. Additionally these studetns could think critically and integrate theory into their clinical experiences that included developing a plan of care for their patients and providing safe care. The authors also discussed that successful students had a positive attitude and were concerned about patient safety.

The paper also describes struggling students and those that required remediation. The authors suggested that identifying unsuccessful behaviours is key to prevention of implementation of remediation strategies. They propose that prior to commencement of placement that students are prepared for their placement by discussing how to prepare for placement and the expected process and content of the potential experiences. At the commencement of a professional experience placement the authors suggest that students are counselled about the expectations of the workplace.

The third characteristic of functioning in the clinical area discussed the development of appropriate communication skills and understanding of safety through using simulation experiences to prepare students prior to going into the practice environment.

Have you identified successful and unsuccessful students during your supervision of students? Do you have any ideas or tips you can share with others.  You can post them in the comment section here or alternatively email Carey.Mather@utas.edu.au and I can post them for you.

Thank you, this very informative … what is your opinion on the australian governments current stance against the use of nicotine in electronic cigarettes? Just to clarify, E-Cigarettes (and/or their components) are not considered to be a prohibited import under Customs legislation. E-Cigarettes are comprised of an atomiser, battery and cartridge that may or may not contain a mixture of liquid nicotine and propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol. These forms of glycol are commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations and are not controlled. Liquid nicotine, is scheduled as a ‘Schedule 7 Poison’ under the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP). The listing of a poison in Schedule 7 does not usually justify an import prohibition. The Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) is responsible for the government policy on such issues and advised that all States and Territories have domestic controls on the sale of these products; the Department does not consider an import control is warranted in the short term. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has advised that e-cigarettes may be subject to control under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 only if the packaging makes a claim for any form of therapeutic benefit (this does not include the benefit of reducing or giving up smoking). Goods of this nature are not tobacco or tobacco products, and therefore are not subject to duty or GST if the Customs value is at or below the low value goods threshold of A$1,000. http://www.australiaecig.com
