Abstract

Why are some clinical experiences better than others? Little has been written about strategies used in the clinical classroom, yet this setting continues to be a major educational component in nursing education. The author explores specific actions aimed at promoting a positive clinical experience. Motivational principles combined with critical-thinking strategies and total quality management techniques together provide a conceptualization of clinical teaching and learning. Recommendations are made to integrate the three techniques into the clinical classroom.
