Representing Practice Through Problem-Based Learning Scenarios

  • Chapter
Realising Exemplary Practice-Based Education

Abstract

In this chapter we present an innovative clinical education model in nursing known as the Student Nurse Led Ward model of clinical education, which is in the style of dedicated education units (Edgecombe, Wotton, Gonda, & Mason, 1999) and based in the residential aged care setting. The Student Nurse Led Ward model provides for students from third, second and first year to work collaboratively in a service unit. Senior students mentor junior students, enabling skill development in peer learning and leadership. The students work closely with clinical staff members who provide mentoring and feedback. An on-site nurse educator develops staff capacity for supervision and supports student learning through reflection and discussion.
