Abstract

A collaborative clinical learning environment plays an important role in preparing nursing students to working with diverse patient care team. Collaboration could help in cultivating a smooth flow of work in a hospital environment where uncertainties are almost unavoidable (Hine, Fenton, & Custance, 2015). A collaborative clinical learning environment in nursing education can be defined as an atmosphere where various professionals participating in patient care support and enhance one another such that patients' needs are met, job satisfaction is enhanced and students learning is facilitated (Melrose, Park, & Perry, 2015). This presentation reports on nursing students' perspectives and clinical staff about a collaborative clinical learning environment at a large teaching hospital in Botswana.
