This textbook presents a comprehensive framework for planning, guiding, and evaluating learning activities for undergraduate and graduate nursing students in clinical settings.

This new edition presents the newest clinical teaching strategies to ensure that it covers important new content, including culturally-inclusive strategies, current technology, NLN's Core Competencies, students with disabilities, delegation, self-directed learning, adapting to innovative clinical sites, virtual clinical worlds, and more.
