Clinical Practice

Aim

The purpose of clinical practice is for students to apply the knowledge and skills acquired from the theoretical courses to nursing practice in hospital and community settings. The number of hours of clinical experience in each setting is based on the requirements for a competent professional nurse who will be eligible for registration as a nurse by the Nursing Council of Hong Kong.

Clinical Teaching and Learning

Clinical teaching is provided for students within different clinical practice blocks. It is provided by the nurse instructors from our school or clinical mentors, who are registered nurses nominated by the accredited clinical units/institutions.

Clinical Competence

Students are assessed at intervals during clinical practice to determine their progress in achieving the desired standard in the competencies relevant to each academic term and year and the requirements for a general nurse eligible for registration with the Nursing Council of Hong Kong.
