Supporting student nurses who have their first clinical placement in the community nursing team.
British Journal of Community Nursing 2018 October 3
First year student nurses are increasingly undertaking their first placement with community nurses. The importance of how this initial learning experience is introduced by the higher education institution, as well as how the student is welcomed and integrated into the community nursing team, cannot be underestimated. Following positive anonymous feedback from students, which indicated that they had benefitted from the introduction, welcome and integration they experienced, the university and mentors reviewed how this had been done to identify good practice to share with colleagues. Students indicated that their welcome and integration had helped them to feel part of the team and enhanced learning, because they were so well supported, and mentors had facilitated learning experiences by acknowledging that this was their first placement experience. It is notable that mentors were committed to the students' learning and used workplace social capital to optimise the student experience. At a time when retention of students is essential to increase the future workforce, mentors dedicated to student learning are acting as ambassadors for the community workforce, and may well encourage students to have a career in community nursing.
