TL;DR
The supervisor of clinical education successfully interacted with students to optimise their learning, however, there was limited success in developing registered nurses skills and abilities in engaging with students.
Abstract
To further develop registered nurses clinical teaching skills a diversity of strategies, both within and outside of the role of supervisor of clinical education, is needed.
