Clinical Supervision by Staff Nurses; A Controversial Issue in Nursing Education - Views of Students and Staff Nurses

Abstract

The Diploma nursing students are supervised by staff nurses when posted in National Referral hospital (JDWNRH). The teaching institute, Faculty of Nursing and Public Health (FNPH, 2021) has appointed Incharges (staff nurses) from each ward to supervise students. The staff nurses’ primary job is to look after the patient; therefore, they are not able to supervise students wholly. This challenge is voiced by both staff nurses and students.
