Summary
This study attempted to describe the perceptions of student nurses, nurse educators and unit supervisors on the accompaniment of student nurses in clinical situations in the Limpopo Province of the Republic of South Africa (RSA). The accompaniment of student nurses might be inadequate in some clinical settings in the RSA, hampering the professional development of the student nurses and impeding their abilities to integrate theory and practice and to become analytical critical thinkers who can make independent judgments in clinical settings. Such unsatisfactory clinical accompaniment of student nurses in the RSA has been reported by Mhlongo (1996:29) who maintained that student nurses perceived themselves to be “pairs of hands”, that teaching was given low priority and that many clinical learning opportunities were not used - impacting negatively on the professional development of the student nurses
