Fast Facts for the Clinical Nursing Instructor: Clinical Teaching in a Nutshell, Second Edition

The book was good for beginning clinical instructors. There were two comments in the book that were not quite accurate. One was referring to NLNAC accreditation for nursing programs and the other comment was made about students working under the licensure of the clinical instructor. Each state board of nursing has their own rules and regulations, and in Ohio, students do not work under the licensure of their clinical instructor and nursing programs do not have to be accredited by the NLNAC to be an approved nursing program. The nursing programs in Ohio must have State Board approval. Otherwise, the book provided good tips for both new and seasoned clinical instructors, ones that I plan to implement.

This is an excellent resource for the novice clinical instructor. It validated my feelings of uncertainty when I changed roles as a hospital nurse and went to work as a clinical instructor. The author helped me appreciate that you have to learn how to teach. Her words were plain-spoken and practical. Some nursing textbooks are full of theory and make an effort to impress you with their pseudo-intellectual vocabulary. This book is REAL and has been a big help to me on the job.

Easy to read and divided into short logical sections. They provide good clinical examples for each chapter and point they are making. Good source to help a new clinical instructor develop & implement their role .

This is an excellent handbook for new nursing faculty. I have taught clinical rotations of nursing students for years and find this handbook spot on. The authors have written a book written in a down to earth manner. I hope to use this book as a resource for new nursing faculty in my program.

Got some new and creative ideas of how to guide my students and also answers to some of my misconceptions of being a Clinical Instructor.

Great read, simple reminders for a new instructor.

this is the best book for helping new clinical instructors, should buy one for each instructor!

This really helped my organize my orientation and post conferences. It also helped me understand my role as the clinical instructor in the hospital setting. HIghly recommend it to new instructors, especially those who are current staff RNs transitioning to clinical instructor.

Highly recommended for any nursing clinical instructor. I use this book as a reference guide to help with evaluations, anecdotal reports and any other paperwork that is required by the instructor. Helpful teaching hints throughout the book.
