Strategies for effective teaching and learning in the clinical environment are essential for nursing education in both academic and professional development roles. Reflect upon learning from this week’s lesson and respond to the following:
- Develop a short case scenario involving a nurse educator who is teaching in the clinical environment as part of their academic or professional development role.
