Description¶

The article recommends that nursing educators and training institutions use the delineated components of clinical readiness to shape preparation for clinical practice. It states that "educators and training institutions can tailor their curricula, programs, and support systems to better prepare nursing students for the demands of real-world healthcare settings". This strategy follows directly from the identified attributes and antecedents.
