Abstract
all the period of observation (10 weeks in the second semester) it was found that the actual time of clinical training was only 5 hrs/w instead of 20 hrs/w,as stated by Ministerial act No.292. Moreover even that very minimal time of clinical training (5hrs/ w) was not adequately utilized. 4. The faculty student ratio (1:25) is very high when co~ared. to that recommended in references.(1:l0). 5. The part-timer teachers do not share in clinical train ing .; so that the full-timer teachers had to cover for them in certain fields in which they were not specialized. .6. There is no proper cooperation between the school organ ~ation and the hospital organization leading to a wide gap between the goals of nursing education and the ex pecta~ions of nursing service. 7. The nature and organizational sturcture of the hospital in which students train has an effect on the clinical training of students. 8. The peak hours of work in hospitals were from 8 Am to 12 Pm. Consequently students would benifit more from clinical training during these hours. Regarding evaluation of students’ performance either along the scholastic year or by the end of the year (final examination) it is found that: , 1. There is no formal basis for evaluation of students performance during the scholastic year. 2. The final examination of practical nursing is still more or less solely an oral examination with no practical performance. All responsible people concerned with the preparation of third year students for graduation as profess ional nurses f~el that ,much more could be done if time I I and facilities were available. Certain solutions and suggestions have been recommended with the hope that the already existing con ditions will be improved suficiently in the near future. .. The most important recommendations were related to: 1- Reorganization of the tine assigned for teachini all subjects in the third year curriculum, with special emphasis on the nursing subjects. 2- Review and redevelopment of the third year nursing books especially its practical component. 3- Correction of the present shortage in faculty memb ers from both the qualitative and quantitative aspects. 4- Replanning and reorganization of clinical training. 5- Development of more accurate methods for evaluating students’ clinical performance during the scolastic year as well as on graduation.
