Clinical remediation in a nursing program

Abstract 

A clinical remediation program was initiated to identify students who are succeeding academically but performing marginally in the clinical setting and to provide one-on-one or one-on-two instruction in the clinical setting to those students in order for them to improve their performance.

The advantages of the clinical remediation program are that it (a) provides intensive instruction at the clinical site, (b) allows additional attention for marginal students without compromising educational needs of other students, and (c) provides further evaluation and information to the student and faculty on the student's clinical performance, and (d) increases retention rates without lowering standards of competency.
